Summer Reading Club is an annual self-paced reading challenge for everyone!
Let the adventure begin!
June 1– August 31
Hello, friends!
We are embarking on a journey for Summer Reading Club 2024 and you're invited! Summer Reading Club is a self-paced reading challenge. This year, we are preparing for an exciting journey because "Adventure Begins at Your Library!" The pages of books will be your map and your imagination will be your compass!
Who can join Summer Reading Club?
Readers of all ages will use the Beanstack platform to log minutes read (app available in the Apple App store or Google Play store), badges earned, and prizes collected along the way. Complete extra activity badges to be entered into raffle prize drawings. If you are interested in tracking with pen and paper instead of using Beanstack, talk to your librarian.
How do I get started?
Once you've joined Beanstack or registered with the help of a librarian, it's time to start reading! You can read on your own, with family members, in a treehouse, on the beach, listening to an audiobook, on an ereader- it doesn't matter how!
You can read however and whatever you'd like for this challenge. The library catalog is full of books, movies, ebooks, audiobooks, and more to explore together!
Earn prizes for tracking your reading! When you get a badge with a notification to stop by the library, you can stop by any branch.
What other adventures should I expect?
We will have Summer Reading programs full of excitement throughout the summer! Check out our Summer Reading Club newsletter with information about the fun, free programs for the whole family all across the county, including:
