KBL staff is ready for the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge, All Together Now!
Sign-up and T-shirts
Sign-up opens on June 1st, so make sure you're set up in Beanstack to accept the challenge on launch day. Staff can also register you in-person at the Library. T-shirts are first come, first served at sign-up, so make sure you stop in!
Reporting Minutes and Prizes
We have weekly prize drawings for adults and teens. Children will be earning Book Bucks to spend in our Library Store; when they come in to report their minutes (on either the available paper tracker or on Beanstack), we'll give them their Bucks! Weekly incentives and fun activities will help prevent the dreaded summer learning loss.
