Our Reading Programs allow families and readers of all ages to log and read books for prizes and badges. These programs are offered through Beanstack, which is our free online service that offers book and activity logging, recommendations and book reviews. Beanstack will automatically direct you to the appropriate activities based on your age. Show us how much you love to read by participating in one of our programs!
Registration Forms for the kids' reading challenges are at the bottom of the page. Feel free to print them out, complete five activities and bring them to the library to pick up your Summer Reading Program Packet. We also have registration forms available at the library. The Adult Reading Program entry is also available at the bottom of the page. Print it off, color in the a book for each book read, when completed, return it to the library to be entered to win a $50 gift card.
Many of the events this summer require registration. Please check our Online Event Calendar for information on each event including links to registration forms. Please be sure to read the instructions, some events will require separate registrations for each child attending the event.
