Level Up at the Library during our 2025 Summer Reading Challenge!
June 23, 2025 – August 15, 2025

Kids entering 5th grade and younger can Level Up their reading this year with our annual Read and Bead challenge! For every 15 minutes of reading completed this summer, kids earn a bead for their Summer Reading necklace. Certain milestones will earn special beads that glitter, glow, or are fun shapes. Ordinary beads can also be traded in for special beads.

Reading can be tracked with a paper log or on the Beanstack Tracker app. Since this summer’s theme is all about games, we also have a special “Bookopoly” challenge. Complete goals on the Bookopoly board to earn bonus beads!

Pick up a paper log and Bookopoly board from the Children’s Room or download it here to print at home.

Of course, there’s no leveling up without fun and games! Get the party started with us at our Summer Reading Kickoff Party on Wednesday, June 25 from 4:00-7:00pm. We’ll have live music, food trucks, Animal Adventures at 4:00pm, Bubble Fun after Animal Adventures, a face painting and tattoo station and more. Staff will be present to help you register or learn about logging your reading through Beanstack. Stop by anytime between 4:00 and 7:00pm!
