Summer is a great time for children to relax and have fun, but it is also a time when summer learning loss can occur. Prevent that summer slide by joining a Summer Reading Program at the Library starting May 27. Read to earn prizes and have fun all summer long! Children, tween, and teen summer reading has gone digital – no paper forms. Sign up online at www.BaxLib.org/Resource-Library/Beanstack or use the Beanstack app, available in Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Registration will be based on the school grade completed.
Summer reading challenges aren’t just for children and youth – the Adult Summer Reading Challenge also starts May 27. Adults can sign up online and track using the Beanstack app, or if you are unable to access the internet, paper copies will be available at the Circulation Desk.
