Summer escapes
Here are ten suggestions to help round out your summer reading.
Are you up for the Ultimate Summer Challenge? Sign up and be entered to win awesome prizes. This isn’t your ordinary reading challenge. There will be in-person, outdoor, virtual programs, and activities for at home or in the community for kids, teens and adults.
Have fun this summer with cool ways to track your reading and register for free today. The challenge runs July 1 - August 31.
Read every day for two months starting July 1, and be sure to track your progress on your very own challenge map. Bring your map back to any Library location to get a new map sticker for every seven days of reading. You can also complete a reading badge to be displayed at your Library.
Before you know it, your map will be full of fun, underwater creatures.
School may be out for the summer, but programs at the Library definitely aren’t! Enjoy in-person or virtual programs for all ages to learn something new, improve a skill, or meet new friends.
Find your next great book with Beanstack with personalized reading recommendations sent every week to your inbox. Once you sign up for free, you can track your reading on the physical map or on the app — either way, you’re eligible for all the Ultimate Summer Challenge grand prizes.
There are incredible prizes that you could win for every age group participating in the challenge.
Ages 0 – 5:
Ages 6 – 12
Ages 13 – 17 and 18+:
