Adult Summer Reading

Adult Summer Reading Program

May 30th - August 1st

Summer reading isn't just for kids. Get ready to Unearth a Story™ this summer with our Summer Reading Club!

Embark on an adventure through history and around the world—60 minutes at a time. Every hour you read enters you into a bi-weekly prize basket drawing, and an end of summer reading raffle for a chance to win available prizes!

Participants will receive an Epilogue Bookstore coupon, as well as a magnet and coupon for Hyperbowling at Royal Family Bowling Center.

Note: If you have participated in one of our reading programs in the past using Beanstack, you don't need to create a new user to sign up - simply login to your original account and check the box to register for the current program.

Use Beanstack to log your time online and earn badges and prizes for registering and completing the challenge. You can write reviews to share with others, and see what other people are reading this summer. Follow this link for more information on using Beanstack.

Adult Summer Reading is made possible through the generous donation and support of the Friends of Samuels Library. Thank you FOSL!

Reading 15 hours means you have completed the Summer Reading Challenge - but wait, there's more! Completing the challenge (15 hours minimum) enters you into a raffle for prizes at the end of summer reading - but every hour read after challenge completion is an additional entry, so keep reading and logging! Once you have completed 15 hours stop by the Adult Reference Desk to fill out a raffle ticket - after the one physical ticket, the entries will be handled digitally. Beanstack will keep track of your hours logged, which will allow staff to run the rest of the raffle pulls online!

On the go all summer? You can also download free eBooks, magazines, videos and music on our website so don’t miss out!

Biweekly Basket Drawings

Every two weeks, we’ll pull a drawing for a basket prize. Each basket contains items related to one of these themes: Tea/Coffee, Gardening, Beach/Outdoors, Books, Cooking. Winners can choose one of any of these baskets as their prize!
