Summer Reading Challenge!

This year’s “Adventure Begins at Your Library” Summer Reading Challenge for all ages is taking place June 1-July 27, 2024.

Children’s Challenge Info
Kids can either pick up a reading & activity log at any DPLS library, or log their reading on Beanstack. Kids who register will receive a free book, while supplies last! Upon registration, kids age 3 to grade 6 will also receive a dog tag, chain, and beads. Children birth-age 2 will get a toy link. Complete the challenge for a chance to win the grand prize: KNOWLEDGE! Just kidding; it’s tickets to King’s Island. *Must register at your home library.
