Summer Library Program

2025 Summer Library Program - Level Up At Your Library
Details Coming Soon!

Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up at Your Library is an all ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games. Whether you’re playing with STEM concepts or gamifying your reading logs, learning to play chess or how to code video games, Level Up at Your Library reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they are a space for fun!

Reading Component

Reading dates for this year’s program start on June 1 (online via Beanstack) and June 3 (in-person registrants). Track your reading through your Beanstack account, or pick up a paper log or bookmark from the library.
