Summer Reading Challenge
June 1–July 31 • All ages

Challenge yourself to read beyond the beaten path this summer. Read or listen to whatever interests you, and encourage your family and friends to do the same. We have great gifts for meeting your challenge (6 hours for kids and teens; 10 hours for adults) and chances to win a grand prize if you go beyond the challenge.

To get started on your challenge, register at Beanstack, a reading software app and web platform. Beanstack is an easy way to log and track your reading or listening time wherever you are. If you have little ones, it's a great way to track participation by everyone in the family. You can also use a reading log.

For all details, visit Summer Reading Challenge.
