From June 1st through August 31st, all ages can participate in this imaginative program by going to https://ccpl.beanstack.org. Our Summer Learning Challenge combines reading, attending virtual and in-person programs, completing fun challenges and crafts, and more into an experience that promotes learning and gets everyone excited about reading again. And the best part, it’s absolutely free!
Earn points to complete the program, and you’ll be entered into the grand prize drawing. And just for signing up, participants get a FREE Summer Learning t-shirt or Summer Learning tote bag*!
*SLC t-shirts & tote bags are available while supplies last. T-shirts & tote bags will be given out starting June 10.
This year, CCPL is offering the 2023 Summer Learning Challenge in two different formats: online through Beanstack and as a paper version. These challenges all vary slightly, so please refer to the information below, which provides an overview of both of the challenge formats, so you can decide which challenge is best for you!
