Read, Renew, Repeat! Summer Reading Challenge

Read, Renew, Repeat, for Free Summer Fun!

June 1 to July 31, 2024

ONE challenge for ALL AGES! Enter together for fun all summer long. 

  • Earn badges for completing reading and activities. Each badge equals a virtual ticket for prize drawings.
  • If logging with Beanstack, you enter your own tickets. If you're logging on paper, we'll enter the tickets for you. 

All reading counts! Print, eBooks, audiobooks, illustrated graphic novels, etc. If you're logging for a child, count bedtime stories and storytimes. Repeated reads of the same title can be logged more than once. 

Your reading will help us reach a community goal of 500,000 minutes!

(We achieved 455,681 minutes in 2023. You can do it!)

Finish your reading and logging by July 31, 2024: 

  • Print entrants: return your log no later than Thursday, August 1, 2024 to be added to drawings. 
  • Online entrants: Enter all tickets into a drawing by Thursday, August 1. 

We'll draw for prizes August 2. Winners will be contacted.
