Sign up for our all-ages Summer Reading Challenge, Level Up at Your Library, beginning June 1. Each age category (see below) has a goal in order to finish the program, and the option to read (and do) more to earn extra grand prize tickets. When you sign up, you’ll receive a sign-up prize to get you motivated, while supplies last. Track your books and you’ll earn a halfway prize, a finishing prize, and grand prize tickets as you go. We recommend downloading the Beanstack Tracker app (on iOS |on Android), but you may also log your reading online through the Beanstack website. If you prefer, paper logs will be available June 1 at the Library or can be printed from our website below.
