Events › Summer Reading Kick-off Party

Celebrate the start of the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge: Color Our World! 

We'll have a kick-off party with free ice cream, a chance to meet princesses, a dance party with DJ Kevin, arts & crafts, glitter tattoos, and a photo booth! WKAR will also be onsite to give away free books and other reading swag! We'll have additional treats available through a bake sale hosted by our Teen Leadership Council. 

Library staff will be ready to help you sign up for the summer reading challenge. Kids, teens, and adults can track their reading minutes and complete activities this summer to earn prizes and enter to win giveaways! Get started online at elpl.beanstack.org or with the Beanstack app, or use a paper log to track your progress.
