Summer Reading 2026
This year, the library is delighted to be offering Summer Reading Programs for all ages. This year's theme is Unearth A Story!
For adults, youth & teens, we will continue to use the online platform, Beanstack. You can register, log your reading or other activities, and see the rewards you've earned. Logging for the whole family is a breeze! If you used Beanstack for previous reading challenges you will only need to update your information. Find out more and sign up here.
Log your reading between June 12 and August 28 to earn prizes. Read on for more details...
