Gwinnett County Public Library is gearing up for their annual “Summer Reading Challenge” which kicks off May 20. Kids, teens and adults are invited to participate in weekly reading challenges and activities designed to engage and exercise the mind while students are out of school. Registration for the free event is open now.
This year’s challenge will be entirely virtual, taking place on social media and a platform called Beanstack. Each week, activities will be introduced through video content on social media and other platforms, while larger challenges will be hosted on Beanstack. Each activity is an opportunity to accumulate points and win prizes that will be awarded at the end of the summer.
“The Summer Reading Challenge is our most anticipated program of the year,” said GCPL Executive Director, Charles Pace. “With the pandemic affecting events across the county and causing physical library branches to be closed, we know many of our patrons wondered if the challenge would be back this year. Let us assure you, reading isn’t canceled! While we may have to get a little creative with some of the activities, the Summer Reading Challenge will go on as planned, and patrons may sign up now.”
