Over 1,000 Kids in Summer Reading Program

Registration continues until August 13Barn Owl
It’s official! Over 1,000 young people from preschool into high school have already signed up for Beebe Library’s Summer Reading Program. This easily beats last year’s end of the summer total of 932, with two weeks still remaining to register. Even though enrollment closes on August 13, summer reading club participants can continue to collect prizes or turn in raffle tickets until Friday, August 20.
Summer is a busy season for the Youth Services department. Children and teens come to the library to find the books on their schools’ assigned Summer Reading Lists, participate in special programs or performances and collect the prizes they have earned by tracking the amount of time they spend reading. Depending of their age, they join the appropriate reading club, take home books, and read (or listen as someone else reads to them).
