Buckle up, explorers! You’ve just entered the Unearth a Story Safari, where the giants of the past come to life in our Summer Reading Challenge. This summer, the library is your base camp, and every book is your ticket into the deep jungle.

Your mission is to track down legendary creatures, from the soaring Pterodactyls to the kings of the forest. As you log your reading, you’ll navigate through dense prehistoric terrain, earning badges for every “sighting” and unlocking rewards to help you survive the trek. Keep your eyes peeled and your books open, it’s a wild world out there! Each minute of reading equals 1 point, plus earn bonus points by completing activity badges and attending library programs. Everyone is welcome to join! Come to the library to claim your prizes each time you hit one of the badge milestones at 300, 600, 900, 1200, and 1500 points! Your adventure awaits!

Tally your progress, rack up points, and snag rewards as you see just how deep your curiosity can dig. Your expedition starts right now, load up the Beanstack app to track your safari digitally or swing by our Children’s or Reference Desks at 629 Poyntz Avenue to grab a physical field log. The trail is waiting; let’s see what you find!
