Meet the Challenge

Summer Library Challenge log/game board thumbnailStarting June 1 record each day that you read. Complete 15 days of reading (they do not need to be consecutive) go on one adventure. Then stop by the library to pick-up your halfway prize and get your entry into the grand prize raffle! Halfway prizes are available beginning June 15.

Don’t stop there! Keep reading and after you complete 30 days of reading and another adventure, stop by the library beginning July 1 to pick up your completion reward and receive 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 32 extra reading days will earn you up to 23 more grand prize raffle entries and each additional adventure completed earns one extra entry per activity to the grand prize raffle (up to 18 more entries). Bonus entries are logged on Beanstack only.
