Our theme for summer 2026 is "Plant a seed, READ." Choose activities that promote literacy, encourage exploration, and spark creativity. A city-wide scavenger hunt, weekly outdoor craft camps, musical and educational presentations, and of course, a summer of carefree reading are all part of the fun.

Kids ages 0-10 will earn points that translate to opportunities to enter the Grand Prize Drawing. 60 points = one raffle ticket. Teens ages 11-18 will have opportunities to win weekly prize drawings for $20 Powell's gift cards, Ace Hardware gift cards, and other surprises. One teen winner is chosen every week! Sign up and visit the Library to choose a FREE brand-new book. Thank you to our sponsors for making these prizes possible.

Read books, attend events, and complete challenges to earn points that translate to prize drawing chances. 60 points = one prize drawing chance.

After signing up you’ll receive a weekly e-newsletter with Summer Library Challenge tips and encouragement, and you can pick up a registration kit of goodies at the Adult Services desk.
