There's still over a month to join the Summer Learning Challenge

The Summer Learning Challenge engages youth, families and adults by challenging them to read, explore new activities and learn new skills all summer long.

Just for registering, all participants 18 years and under can pick up a free book at their library. Complete the challenge to be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship.

Summer Learning isn't just for kids! Adults 18+ can also join us this summer to discover new reads, learn new skills, and win prizes for participating. Pick up an Adult/Teen Summer Learning Challenge bookmark at any Library location. Adults who complete the challenge will receive a free book from the designated Summer Learning Challenge bookshelf in the Downtown Library's Friends of the Library Bookstore and an entry for a prize drawing featuring giftcards from local businesses.
