We will be hosting our Summer Reading program online this year.  Beginning on June 1st, participants in the Adult program can earn points and badges by:

  • Logging books. These should be considered Young Adult or higher reading levels. Each completed title entered is worth 100 points. 
  • Reviewing books.  When you log a title, you have the option to submit a review as well, which will be evaluated by Library staff.  Each approved review is worth 10 points, and will enter you into a weekly drawing for a City Brew gift card!
  • Completing weekly activities.  Visit your Summer Reading account each week, where we will have a new mission for you to do!  Completing a weekly mission will earn you a badge and enter you into that week’s activity prize drawing. 
  • Play the games in your account.  You can unlock new games as you go. Each completed game earns 5 - 20 points.
  • Attend online Library events.
