Dive in Deep Summer Challenge
What a great job, voyagers! Together, we read 200,000 hours this summer and thousands of patrons redeemed their maps for fantastic prize packs that included rewards from community partners, below.
Our summer mascot, Milo, traveled to all of our library locations to witness our progress towards our community goal in the Read City Oceans of Possibilities challenge and to join patrons in amazing summer programs that included magic, chemistry experiments, animal visitors, and so much more!
Our summer challenge was hosted from May 21 through August 7 and was all about diving into a subject you want to know more about–by reading, researching, or exploring our collection!
Readers tracked their time with a map, online, or in the Beanstack Tracker app and earned sticker badges, prizes, and reward books.
