Summer Reading Provides an Ocean of Possibilities!

Summer reading is officially here! To participate, sign in or register for Beanstack at cabarruscounty.beanstack.org (or in the app) and sign up for the 2022 Summer Reading Challenge. After that, earn badges by logging reading and activities, then stop by the library throughout the summer to redeem prizes!

This year's theme is "Oceans of Possibilities," so we'll have tons of related programs and presenters to keep things interesting! Some of which include the NC Zoo, NC Aquarium, Duke Lemur Center, Nate Brown's Rhythms of Soul, and juggling duo "Gravity Check".
