Celebrate the start of summer with the Dallas Public Library!
Kids have the opportunity to stay active with activities that will keep their skills sharp and ready for the start of the new school year.
- Kids ages 0-18 who read or are read to at least 20 minutes a day can earn great prizes.
- After logging 10 days of reading, kids earn a free book of their choice.
- Each time they reach the 10-day mark, kids can pick up another prize, up to 5 times over the summer.
- Kids who read at least 50 days by August 13 will be entered to win grand prizes!
Adults can participate as well!
“Adults 18 and older can earn badges for reading every day, for attending programs or completing activities. Log reading at dallaslibrary.beanstack.org or on the Beanstack app. For every challenge badge completed, participants can choose one prize from the summer prize bag! Earn three digital challenge badges and receive a Dallas Public Library tote bag.”
