Summer Reading!
From June 23rd - August 18th readers of all ages can log their reading through the Beanstack app to earn raffle tickets and rewards. For every 120 minutes read (up to 1,200 minutes), the app will prompt users to stop by the library to pick up something fun as a reward. By completing these minute milestones as well as additional challenges located inside the app, readers can win raffle tickets that can be entered for end-of-summer prizes. Click here to learn more about the children's summer reading program on our website. Register for upcoming summer activities here.

Emails with additional questions can also be directed to [email protected].
