Ultimate Summer Challenge

Registration opens June 15

Get Ready for the Ultimate Summer Challenge!

The Challenge is simple — read every day this summer.  

Everyone can be part of the Ultimate Summer Challenge. This shared reading adventure is a great way to connect, discover, and keep learning through the summer months. 

This year, your summer reading adventure heads into the mountains with an outdoor adventure-themed Challenge map. Starting June 15, you can register and track your reading using the Beanstack app or a printed Challenge map. 

Read, attend programs, explore new stories, and have fun at the Library all summer long.
