Level Up this Summer at the Washington Public Library!
AT THE LIBRARY
Southeast Iowa Union offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
Summer is here, and that means it’s time for long, lazy days filled with adventure, exploration, and the joy of reading! This year, our local library is rolling out an exciting Summer Reading Program that promises to engage readers of all ages with fun, free events and a thrilling reading challenge — our goal is to read a combined total of 200,000 pages by the end of July!
Download the Beanstack Reading Tracker to your computer or mobile device (if you don’t want to track online you can pick up a reading log at the Library). A parent can create an account and then complete registrations for each child in the family. If you finish your reading challenge by July 31 you will qualify for a prize!
Pick up a calendar of events at the library or download it from our website. Some programs require registration, so you’ll want to register soon to make sure you’re able to attend. Other programs are open to all and don’t require registration.
Join us for our free family events:
Saturday, June 28 @ 10 a.m. Cold Blooded Redhead, Library meeting rooms
Wednesday, July 9 @ 1:00 Movie Madness, Library meeting rooms
Friday, July 11 @ 1:00 LEGO Club, Library meeting rooms
Wednesday, July 23 @ 4:00 Pokémon Trading Card, library meeting rooms
