Summer Reading Moves to the Cloud!
Adults, teens, and children are invited to join the summer reading program online in Beanstack - so far 339 participants have registered and 52,000 minutes have been logged towards the 500,000 minute community reading challenge. Weekly drawings are held for local eateries, and we have a grand prize drawing for a GoPro Hero8 video camera for each category (adult, teen, and children). Full details are on our website. Thank you to the Friends for funding all the great prizes.

Psst! So far the Cutler School is in the lead with the most minutes read! What do you think of that?
