100 Books Before High School

Grades 5-8

Did you ever wish the library’s summer reading program would never end? Well, for tweens in grades 5–8, it doesn’t have to! With the Library’s 100 Books Before High School program, readers can keep track of their reading, earning awesome prizes along the way and keep the fun (and learning) going all year long.

Login to begin tracking your books on your reading journey. How do I register? If you already have a Beanstack account from Summer Reading, just log in and join the 100 Books Before High School challenge.
