Summer Library Challenge - June 1-August 1, 2023

Starting June 1 record each day that you read. After you complete 20 days of reading (they do not need to be consecutive) perform a kindness activity. Once your activity is complete, stop by the library to pick-up your reward and get your entry into the grand prize raffle!

Don’t stop there! Keep reading and after you complete 40 days of reading and another kindness activity, stop by the library to pick up your completion reward and receive 2 more entries for the grand prize raffle!

The Summer Library Challenge is open to all ages!

• For kids up to Kindergarten age we recommend 5-10 minutes per day
• For kids in grades 1-6 we recommend 20 minutes per day
• For adults, teens and kids in grades 7+ we recommend 30 minutes per day
• Any amount of reading counts!

A bonus of 20 extra reading days will earn you up to 4 more grand prize raffle entries and each additional kindness activity completed earns 1 extra entry per activity to the grand prize raffle. Bonus entries are logged on Beanstack only.

Choose two acts of kindness to complete during the Summer Library Challenge after 20 days and 40 days. After you've finished the Challenge, you can earn one extra entry per bonus activity to the grand prize raffle (up to 14 more entries!).
