Sign up now for Summer Reading Club!

In other news, we are very excited about our overhauled Summer Reading Club. We sought to provide a program for the kids of our community that challenged them and created a sense of community, all while not gathering in large crowds.

Our program this year will use a scavenger hunt app with new challenges every day. Kids will have reading challenges, photo challenges, math challenges, science challenges, art challenges and more! Many of them can be done from home, some will require families to get out in the community. For all of the challenges, you can see the other kids’ answers and photos, creating a community event, even if we’re not all gathered together.

Every week, kids can stop by at the library and pick up a supplies packet to do the activities for the week.

All kids are encouraged to join the game! You can download the app and sign up now. First clues will appear on June 1. Download the app GooseChase to your phone. Then join one of four games with one of these codes: 1BV9XD, EZ8DQW, 97GDL5, or WK511Q. (The games are identical. Please only join one per child. If you have more than one child using the same phone app, each child may use a different code to play their own game.)
