The theme this year is “Level Up at Your Library,” and the library will be working as a community to fill the Summer Reading Jar with reading challenges for kids and bingo for teens and adults!.Check out Summer Reading Page on library website for more details. Ince again. the Summer Reading Challenge will use the Beanstack app. For those who have used Beanstack in the past, there is no need to sign up again–just log in and join the Summer Reading 2025 challenge. For those who signing up for the first time, head to the Beanstack website or download the app, Beanstack Tracker, to sign up and join the challenge for your age group.

The library’s Summer Reading Kickoff Party will be held on the Town Common on Monday, June 23 from 2:30-4 p.m. There will be Richie’s Italian Ice, face painting, a balloon twister (ages 3+), bubble machines, and more. In the case of inclement weather this event will be held in Richard Hall at the Centre Congregational Church. The library will have various programs throughout the summer, including partnering with MarketStreet for three programs – Magic Fred, Mike Bent’s AbraKidabra! and Lindsay & Her Puppet Pals on the MarketStreet Green.
