In addition to logging books and completing activities, participants can review books read and see other participants’ reviews, check out booklists, and get email recommendations on what to read next.
In addition to the online and paper games, all libraries will be offering fun summer performances and programs, like opera, magic, juggling, music, and more.
To complete the program, participants need to read 3 books and complete 3 activities.
Kids and teens will earn a free book prize for completing the challenge . All ages will be entered into prize drawings, and adult participants will have the opportunity to win a Kindle Fire grand prize.
This year, the Library will once again be using Beanstack to track participation for Summer Discovery Program. The Beanstack app is also available on mobile devices.
