Dig Into Summer

June 1 through August 31, grow your own way during Summer Learning with live events, challenges and more. This annual summertime program is for everyone and celebrates the joy of learning through fun, educational activities.

Read 10-100 hours and earn great prizes along the way or try learning something new for a chance to win one of our end-of-summer prizes. Record your progress using our Summer Learning guide or participate online through the Beanstack app, a mobile app that allows you to track your reading and challenge progress. Turn in your completed trackers to any branch through August 31 for celebratory prizes and entries into the end-of-summer prize drawing. Pick up your Summer Learning guide at any branch or participate digitally at KRL.org/summer.
