Summer Reading Challenge 2022

Join us for Oceans of Possibilities at the library this summer as we celebrate books and the ocean!

June 1 – July 31

We have a program for everyone, ages 0-100+!

Rubber Duck Club (ages 0-4)

Read, Sing, Talk, Write, and Play with your young child this summer! They’ll earn a new rubber duck for every five activities you complete. If you complete all the activities for the month, they can select a free book!

Summer Reading Challenge: KIDS Edition (ages 5-12)

Grab your calendar and get started reading and doing fun activities! Visit the library each week to pick up a take-home craft kit (while supplies last) and to collect stickers for your calendar! You can get a sticker for each day you participate. At the end of the month, come in to pick up your free book! You’ll also be entered into the drawing for a chance to win a Walmart gift card or a bag of goodies from Warm Glow.

Summer Reading Challenge: TEEN Edition (ages 12-18)

Grab your calendar and get started reading and doing fun activities! Stop by the library each week you participate to choose a cool waterproof sticker! Then come back at the end of the month to pick up your free book! You’ll also be entered into the drawing for a chance to win a Walmart gift card or a bag of goodies from Warm Glow.

Adults

Fill out a raffle ticket for each book you read this summer. The more you read, the more chances to win a prize! You can also earn more chances to win prizes by completing activities in The Starfish: Daily Chronicle library newspaper and the Checklist Challenge! We’ll also have various Grab ‘n Go crafts available, as well as ocean-themed jigsaw puzzles and a tabletop coloring sheet patrons can work on together throughout the summer! Prefer online activities? Try TURTLE— our SRP ‘22 riff on the popular WORDLE game!
