Summer Library Club kicks off Saturday, May 21 at our Children’s Festival of Reading. Read 30 hours by August 7 and earn terrific reading rewards. An array of special summer performances will keep patrons entertained all season!
Dive in Deep Summer Challenge, May 21-August 7
Our summer challenge is all about diving into a subject you want to know more about–by reading, researching, or exploring our collection!
Pick up a map at any library location to get started. Track your reading time on your map, online, or in the Beanstack Tracker app.
For every 5 hours you read, earn a sticker badge for your map. Aim for just 20 minutes a day and read (or listen to) anything you want! When you’ve read 30 hours, pick up your prize at any library location by August 7.
