Northbrook Public Library: Summer Reading Challenge Returns

Press release from the Northbrook Public Library:

Our Summer Reading Challenge encourages you to try new things, boost your creativity, and explore whatever inspires you, whether it's reading, learning a language, crafting, sports, video games, music, science, or something else entirely. And the best place to start is the library!

How Summer Reading Works

Because the goal is to encourage a lifelong love of reading, we offer a Summer Reading Challenge for babies, youth, teens, and adults. And although reading is its own reward, we also have fun activities and prizes planned throughout the program.

• Adults who sign up and log just four or more books this summer will receive a cool bucket hat (perfect for sunny days), and a coupon for a free book from the Friends' Bookshop. They will also be entered into weekly gift card drawings and our Grand Prize Drawing—a $200 Sunset Foods gift card.
• Our Youth and Teen Summer Reading programs offer coupons and prizes, like a free book, as well as the chance to be entered into our Grand Prize Drawing.
• Our Baby Summer Reading program encourages caregivers to engage in fun literacy activities with their little ones (like reading or singing together). After they complete the challenges, they will receive a special prize and a free book.

Visit the library starting Sunday, June 1 at 1:00pm to sign up and pick up a reading log, or participate online using the Beanstack website or app. Learn more about participating here.

Play our Summer Reading "Crack the Code Challenge" from June 1-8

To kick off our Summer Reading Challenge, we invite you to play our "Crack the Code" Challenge! Visit the library from June 1-8 to pick up a "Crack the Code" form and search for numbered cards hidden near our service desks. Then, use our code breaker to spell out a mystery phrase to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a special prize!

Summer Reading is sponsored by the Friends of the Northbrook Public Library.
