For Kids & Teens (ages 0-17)

Keep your child's education on track! Reading, science, art, math, and critical thinking skills can slide for kids & teens during summer break. Looking for solutions? The Library District has the answer with our FREE Summer Challenge program, where kids of all ages can win great prizes while sharpening their school skills.

For Adults (ages 18+)

Summer Challenge isn't just for kids anymore. Parents, caregivers, and all adults are invited, too! Participate in Summer Challenge for a chance to win items from our bookstores, a telescope, a $100 Amazon Gift Card, or cool swag from the Vegas Golden Knights!

How It Works:

Reading + Activities = Fun All Summer Long

Kids, teens & adults will each get age-customized activities (see below) and fun reading recommendations for every ability. Then track your reading & activities in our special log, complete all three levels, and you’re eligible to win! Track your progress online through Beanstack and you will be automatically entered to win. You can also track your progress on a paper log, available at any Library District branch, then drop it off at a library desk to be entered. Kids & teens (ages 0-17) can also enter our Super Reader Challenge for another chance to win a Grand Prize Package.
