Fun for all ages. No Library Card is Required.
Saddle Up for the Summer Reading Challenge!
Read What you Fancy:
Grab any book, graphic novel, magazine, e-book, audiobook or newspaper that you want. Whether it’s from the Library or your own stash, if you’re readin’, it counts!
Track your Trail:
Swing by the Library to sign up and get your reading log. Keep track of your minutes, whether you’re reading, listening to audiobooks, reading to someone, or being read to! Read 1,000 minutes to complete the challenge.
Round Up the Posse:
Join us for a rootin’-tootin’ good time this June and July! We’ve got special programs for the whole family, plus programs just for kids, teens, or adults, along with our usual roundup of events.
Ride into the Library:
Giddy up to the Library each week and use your library card to check out books, movies, games, and more. There’s always something new to discover!
Earn Tickets & Rewards
When you hit 1,000 minutes, you’ve lassoed yourself a reward! Choose a free premium popcorn + slushy from The Dutch Kernel OR snag a Mason Jar Mug (while supplies last).
Get more rewards and tickets for grand prizes along the way.
Get Stickers
Get a sticker when you sign up, then collect one for every 250 minutes you read—up to 1,000 minutes. You’ll also earn a sticker if you attend a Library program. Yeehaw!
Add your stickers to your Summer Reading bookmark.
