Summer Book Bus Park and Play at Apple Glen June 16th-5:30-7:00

Tomorrow is our kickoff event for the Summer Book Bus — a mobile library serving students in the Apple Glen Elementary School zone throughout the summer! The Book Bus was created to give families convenient access to books and keep students reading all summer long.

For our first event, the bus will not run its regular route. Instead, we will park at the Apple Glen Elementary bus loop from 5:30–7:00 PM. Students can visit the bus to pick out their very first book of the summer and then enjoy time playing on the playground!

Come grab a book to read and exchange at our next Book Bus stop on June 30th. We’ll also have popsicles available, so bring the family and come play your heart out!

Bentonville Public Library— https://bentonvillelibrary.org/kids/summerreading
Summer Reading Club is back, and this year we're challenged to Unearth a Story!!!
From June 1 to July 31, we invite you to dig in to a good book, uncover hidden stories, explore the past, and discover the joy that reading brings! Throughout the summer, we'll also have decorations, programs, and other exciting features designed to inspire and engage readers.

Starting in May, you can register for the Summer Reading Club several ways:

visit BPL's Beanstack page
download and register on the free Beanstack app for Apple or Android
visit Bentonville Public Library's Children's Services desk
Beginning June 1, log your reading on Beanstack, on a full-color paper tracker you can request at the Children's Services desk, or download your own tracker to print.
Turn in your hours to the Children's Services desk. For every three hours you read (up to 12 hours), you'll get to pick a prize from the treasure chest (while supplies last).
Log hours in Beanstack every week to be eligible for weekly prize drawings. Any child who has logged minutes in Beanstack during the week of the drawing will be eligible to win.
Complete and turn in 15 hours of reading to receive a certificate for a FREE BOOK from Read It Again Bookstore and an entry into a grand prize drawing. Receive an extra entry into the grand prize drawing for each additional 3 hours past the 15 hours that you read.
Read at least 15 hours to be entered into the grand prize drawings! And remember, all reading counts - newspapers, magazines, audiobooks, reading to your kids, cereal boxes, whatever!

Get the whole family involved! Adults and teens have their own challenges (and reading to kids counts)!
