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 youth & teens, we use an online platform called Beanstack, where you can register, log your reading and other activities, and see the rewards you've earned. Logging for the whole family is a breeze! To find out more and sign up, click here. If you used Beanstack for previous reading challenges you will not need to re-register.

For early literacy (ages 0 to 5 years) we'll use old-fashioned paper challenges! 

Log your reading between June 20 - August 22 to earn prizes. Read on for more details...
