This summer, adventure begins at Shreve Memorial Library as patrons complete daring quests as part of the library’s annual Summer Reading Program. 

The 2024 Summer Reading Program theme is “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” highlighting the many ways that libraries stimulate imagination and encourage curiosity through materials and programming. 

Adventure awaits with every turn of a page, and new experiences happen all summer-long at the library. 

Registration for the annual Summer Reading Program begins April 22 on Beanstack.

The “Adventure Begins at Your Library” Summer Reading Program is open to all ages.

Children, age birth to 10, are encouraged to read five books over the summer, teens age 11 to 17 are asked to read at least three books, and adults are tasked with reading two books. 

As patrons log books online, they will receive digital badges for each book read. Those who complete the 2024 Summer Reading Program quest will receive an assortment of prizes including bags, books, pencils, erasers, and other promotional items.
