Every summer the library offers a summer reading program for people of all ages to encourage them to read, explore new authors and genres, and find out about the many different types of materials the library offers. The summer reading program is also a great way to encourage kids to keep reading during the summer when they aren’t going to school. We offer incentives and fun activities and programs to keep them engaged in reading. You can track your reading on a paper log or on the Beanstack app. beanstackBeanstack is an online app that individuals can use to track their reading, minutes, and activities!  It is very user-friendly and easy to sign up for challenges and earn tickets toward the grand prize drawings.

Who can participate and what events are happening?

Family (0-4 year olds) – The summer reading program is for little ones too. Parents and kids can read together to earn entries in the grand prize drawing.  – See all events for 0-4 year olds here.
