Middle & High Schoolers: Under the Teen Tent
Rising grades 6–12
Whether you’re diving into a new book, learning something hands-on, or just looking for a cool space to grow—this is your summer to join our Middle & High School Services team at your library!
- Turn the pages with Chapter Chasers Book Club, break a sweat with Workout for Wellness, get techy with Build a PC, leave your mark by helping create a mural, and level up with our Life Skills Bootcamp. And there’s more where that came from.
- Join our outdoor carnival-style activities—think games, music, snacks, and surprise pop-ups to keep things fresh and fun outside the tent.
- And don’t forget—Summer Bingo is back! Every program you attend, activity you complete, or item you check out gets you closer to Bingo—and yes, there are prizes.
So come read, create, and elevate with us. You bring the energy—we’ll bring the vibes.
Adults: Earn badges & win
Everyone age 18+
Grown-ups get to have summer fun, too! From June 1 through August 19, sign up via Beanstack, track your reading, complete activities, and earn badges for chances to win gift cards to local businesses.
