Kid's Summer Reading
Kids entering 4th grade and younger, who have a River Forest Library card, can register on Beanstack, then pick up a reading log. Collect a prize after you read 5 days in a week. There are 8 weeks total, and 8 prizes to collect. The amount of time you read each day is up to your family. You can read to yourself, to someone else, have someone else read to you, or even listen to an audiobook. We want reading to be fun!
Middle School/Teen Summer Reading
Students entering Grades 5-12, who have a River Forest Library card, can stop by the Library and pick up a reading log or track reading on Beanstack. For every 4 hours read between June 6th and August 1st, you earn a small prize as well as a raffle entry for one of our bigger prizes.
Adult Summer Reading
Adults can participate in the summer reading challenge by logging books on Beanstack or dropping a slip in the ballot box on the second floor. Everyone who logs at least one book can stop by the Adult & Teen Services Desk to claim a sign-up prize (a combination keychain and bottle opener), and each book you log will also enter you into the grand prize raffle.
