Through May 2, Thomas Lee Hall library patrons between the ages of 6 and 14 will receive an American Girl reading log.

The child must submit the entry form in person.
The grand prize winner will receive the doll at the American Girl Tea Party.
American Girl dolls characters lived during significant time periods in American history and are from several different cultural backgrounds. Created in 1986, by Pleasant Rowland, the franchise has expanded to include books, magazines, a website and movie production.
