These books are<br \/>distributed throughout Leon County Public Libraries, neighboring county libraries, select Leon County Schools, and<br \/>can be printed digitally from our website. Children earn points for completing activities, which they can exchange<br \/>at the end of the summer for prizes, such as books, art supplies, and more.<br \/>This year, our Summer Challenge theme is &#8220;Civic City&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"pb-button pb-button-size-medium pb-button-icon pb-button-icon-position-left center\" id=\"pb_button_247B751B05170F8D1CF9C6113D3658F3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wfsu.org\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WFSU-CCSC-2026.pdf\" class=\"pb-window-target-blank\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#2FC0EB;border-style:outset;border-color:#29A1C2;border-width:3px;border-radius:10px;font-weight:600;\"><span class=\"pb-button-box\"><span class=\"pb-button-icon pb-button-icon-0618E41D309C4CD9E1DA2E48950ECAC1\"><\/span><span class=\"pb-button-content\">Download the 2026 Activity Guide<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"pb-script-tag\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery(document).ready(function($) {$('#pb_button_247B751B05170F8D1CF9C6113D3658F3').PBButton({\"out\":{\"color\":\"#FFFFFF\",\"background-color\":\"#2FC0EB\",\"border-style\":\"outset\",\"border-color\":\"#29A1C2\",\"border-width\":\"3px\",\"border-radius\":\"10px\",\"font-weight\":\"600\"},\"in\":{\"color\":\"#FFFFFF\",\"background-color\":\"#29A1C2\",\"border-style\":\"inset\",\"border-color\":\"#2FC0EB\",\"border-width\":\"3px\",\"border-radius\":\"10px\",\"font-weight\":\"600\"}});});<\/script><\/div><div class=\"pb-space-line\"><\/div><div class=\"pb-space pb-clear-fix\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"pb-script-tag\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">jQuery(document).ready(function($){$(\"#pb_line_7EA0082EBDDD8E433FDE559AF54FA420\").PBLayout({\"bg_parallax_speed\":\"30\",\"bg_parallax_enable\":\"0\",\"bg_parallax_mobile_enable\":\"0\"},0);});<\/script><\/div><div id=\"pb_line_7F966C80D07068856CE2B3D9E2CF16E6\"  class=\"pb-line pb-clear-fix\" style=\"background-repeat:no-repeat;\"><ul class=\"pb-layout pb-layout-100 pb-reset-list pb-clear-fix pb-main\"><li class=\"pb-layout-column-left\"> <div class=\"pb-space-line\"><\/div><div><div class=\"pb-space-line\"><\/div><div class=\"pb-space pb-clear-fix\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div><div class=\"pb-text\"><h3>Why Civics?<\/h3>\n<p>WFSU Public Media is a public service entity dedicated to informing and educating citizens of all ages about the<br \/>world around us!
