Summer Reading Challenge
Participate in this year’s Reading Challenge and help us reach our goal of 250,000 minutes of reading! This camp-themed summer reading challenge encourages kids to keep reading over the summer and helps build confidence and lifelong reading habits.
You can participate in person or online using our reading tracker app, Beanstack! Kids will collect stickers/badges and have the chance to win prizes all summer long as they report on books and keep track of their minutes read.
About this year's theme:
Camping embodies the spirit of escaping everyday life and embracing the outdoors, which is similar to reading! This summer, we will explore camping-themed books and activities to keep kids engaged and excited to learn.
We have many fun programs happening all summer, but here are some important dates to remember.
- Summer Reading Challenge Launch: Saturday, June 21 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Story Corner
- FOL Children's Book Sale: Saturday, June 21 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Story Corner
