BARK or Be a Reading Kid
is one of Chester Valley's long running recreational reading
programs. It encourages children to read for pleasure and was
designed by parents and staff to motivate all the students. BARK
readers add on to the accumulations of hours earned in previous
years at Chester Valley. Please help your child by encouraging
reading time at home, reading aloud to them, and signing their
blue BARK cards.

Accelerated Reader books are books within the regular collection. After reading the Accelerated Reader Book which is marked by a star on the spine, a child may test his knowledge by taking an accelerated reader test. Points are accumulated based on which books are read, and how many questions are answered correctly. A list of Accelerated Reader book tests is available in the library.
Young Readers Choice is a northwest regional program that was established in 1940 to promote reading for pleasure.
