For Kids & Teens

Kids and teens will have the chance to earn free books and raffle entries by participating in this year’s Summer Reading Challenge! Earn virtual badges by completing activities, and then visit the library to pick up matching stickers. Each activity you complete will also earn you a scratch ticket for a chance to win a free book or small prize!

End-of-summer raffles for kids will feature Squishmallows, science, and so much more! Teens will also have a variety of gift cards and themed raffles to choose from, including K-Pop, coloring, and rocks & minerals! Registering for Summer Reading is easy with Beanstack!

Our youth events this summer will include storytimes, crafts, games, and STEM programs. Tweens & teens will also have events especially for them, including cupcake decorating, crafts, pizza parties, and more! Most programs will require registration; check our event calendar for more details and registration information.
