Happy Summer Reading, Tiger Nation!

Summer is here! Are you looking for a way to relax? Do you want to travel to new places? Do you want to learn something new? Or make new friends? Reading can be the answer to all of these questions! This summer is the perfect time for all students in grades K-12 to choose a book, manga, comic book, or audiobook to read or listen to. Everything counts!

Summer Reading at the Heights Libraries is going green (and digital), with less paper but all the same fun. Log your reading, earn raffle tickets, and enter prize drawings right from your device. It’s simple. Register on Beanstack at heightslibrary.beanstack.org and log your daily reading for chances to win awesome prizes!
