Summer Reading 2025 WRAP-UP!
Wow, what a summer! Time flies when you’re having fun, and we’ve had a GREAT time during our six weeks of Summer Reading.
While programming has wrapped for the summer, with the exception of the Family Night at the Fair (July 15th at 5pm at the Pavilion), you still have until JULY 19TH to read, read, read to chase down the beloved top reader spot in your age division!
BEFORE JULY 19TH BE SURE TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
• Log ALL of your reading in Beanstack for the final week
• Finish writing and submitting your book reviews
• Make sure every activity and event badge that you completed are marked as such in Beanstack – a completed and earned badge will turn full color, while an unfinished and unearned badge will remain black and white
• Be sure you’ve received the COMPLETION BADGE in Beanstack – this means you met all necessary requirements to be entered into the completion drawing for your age division
IF YOU ARE TRACKING YOUR SUMMER READING PROGRESS USING A PAPER TRACKER:
• Turn in your completed paper tracker and handwritten reviews – be sure to include your name, phone number, and home PCDL branch on the tracker for recording purposes!
• Those using paper trackers who complete the program will also be entered into the completion drawing
IF YOU ARE A TEEN OR AN ADULT:
• Make sure to turn in your Colorful Bookshelf Reading Challenge sheet NO LATER THAN JULY 21ST in order to be entered in to win a reading bundle
