Playing isn't just for fun—it's also how we connect, think outside the box, and make lasting friendships. And the library is more than a place for learning—it's a space to have fun as you grow. It's time to Level Up at Your Library by unlocking your full potential playing with puzzles, games, and challenges. You are never too old or too young to have fun, so our summer reading program is open to everyone!
Level Up at Your Library, our 2025 summer reading program, begins registration on Friday, May 23. Click HERE to register online or use the Beanstack app. All participation must be logged online by Thursday, July 31.
