For Adults: 
Join us for our online summer reading program beginning on Monday, June 12 on Beanstack. You'll get a ticket for every 2 hours that you read. Use your tickets to enter into a drawing for a gift card from some area businesses.

Anything you read counts including books, audiobooks, ebooks, newspapers, and magazines. Earn tickets for every 2 hours of reading, up to 60 hours total. You can also earn a ticket for every book review you write (up to 5 reviews.) Also complete our activity badges to earn more tickets.

This summer we are doing a mid-summer drawing on July 18 and an endofsummer drawing on August 27. Good luck and happy reading!

New This Year: Bonus Bingo Challenge

Participate in our Bonus Bingo challenge. This challenge is voluntary and can be done in coordination with our Summer Reading Program. 

What does this mean? While reading and logging hours for the Adult Summer Reading Program, you can also complete activities in Bingo. Reading a romance book? Log your hours in the summer reading program. Then when you finish mark off Read a Romance book on the Bingo card.

Once you score a Bingo, you will receive one ticket that can be used in a drawing. You can only score Bingo one time in this challenge, so the most you can earn is one ticket.
