Each Friday the Instructional Materials Center Team will provide answers to questions asked by educators throughout the week in the IMC FAQ Friday post. We hope these are helpful as schools place orders for students who need accessible educational materials.

“Unleash Your Inner Explorer”
Summer Reading Program
Calling all Junior Explorers and Lead Detectives!
The Prehistoric Investigation Agency (P.I.A.) has a crisis at headquarters: The Library Dino is missing. We need your help to solve the case of the summer!
By joining our two-month rescue mission, you’ll step into the Zoom Room to track down our prehistoric friend.
Your Mission Brief:
- Investigate: Use Field Files (top-secret book lists) and Classified BINGO cards to find clues.
- Experiment: Join 26 themed events, from Science Labs to “Pasta Paleontology.”
- Track: Collect 24 Weekly Footprint Clues to power up the Dino-Tracker.
The Rewards: As you rise through the ranks, you’ll earn Field Agent Badges, an official Rescue Key, and, if the case is solved, your very own miniature Dino Mascot to keep! Rumor has it that Pablo might even drop by with the final clue.
