Feel the Beat Summer Challenge
Poetry, hip-hop, BookTok or Rocky Top, what moves you? In Read City, it doesn’t matter as long as you Feel the Beat! Join our slammin’ summer reading challenge to show us what you’ve got.
To join this tour, start tracking your reading time by picking up a log at any library location (starting May 20) or joining the challenge on Beanstack (pre-register now).
When you've read 36 hours (about 25 minutes a day), return to the library for your prize.
