Our Summer Reading Challenge is about to begin!
We have reading rewards for all ages, and no library card is required to sign up. You can register on our Beanstack site, download the Beanstack app, or stop by the Adult, Youth, or Teen Reference Desk to pick up a paper reading log and begin earning your reading rewards.
You can also print your own paper reading logs at home:
We’ll be kicking off our Summer Reading Challenge on Monday, June 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., when you can drop in to our main lobby to register for the challenge and snag a treat and a bookmark from Resource Bank. The 2025 Summer Reading Challenge runs from June 2 to August 8.
As you complete your reading, don’t forget that summer will be jam-packed with many other amazing events here at the library!
