Summer Reading Launches May 30
Readers of all ages – kids, teens and, yes, adults – can win spectacular prizes during Summer Reading! Sign up at any of our branches starting May 30.
Once they’ve registered, kids (those entering sixth grade or younger) will earn a raffle ticket for every hour they read or are read to. The more they read, the better chance they have to win one of our prizes! Children can also earn fun rewards along the way.
If they read:
- 5 hours, they’ll receive an envelope stuffed with coupons from local businesses.
- 10 hours, they’ll receive a multicolor pen and vote for whine one of us will get SLIMED after Summer Reading ends
- 15 hours, they’ll receive a Library Champion yard sign or window cling. (One per family.)
- 20 hours, they’ll receive a Golden Ticket for our $50 gift card raffle.
Additionally, kids will receive a bonus prize by completing the Summer Fun Bingo Challenge on the back of their reading logs.
Meanwhile, teens (those entering seventh grade and older) and adults can sign up for summer reading in person at the library, online at mentorpl.beanstack.org, or by using the Beanstack app. Then they can use Beanstack to record what they read. They’ll receive an entry into one of our prize raffles for every book they read, audiobook they listen to or challenge they complete.
This year’s theme is Color Our World and we’re hosting all sorts of colorful and artistic programs. Click here to browse our packed event calendar.
