2022 Summer Reading: Adult Summer Reading Program

Read Beyond the Beaten Path this summer!
Wander Into the Wilderness of Adult Summer Reading 2022

Overview

Welcome to the 7th annual Adult Summer Reading Program at the Westwood Public Library!

Our goal: Encourage everyone to get into the habit of reading. Log each day that you read this summer — audiobooks count, too!

To log your reading, sign into your Beanstack account or pick up a paper log at the library.

Earn a badge for every 10 days that you read/listen. 1 badge = 1 ticket to win a prize basket — that's up to 8 entries!

a badge icon of a tent in the woods   a badge icon of a campfire at night   a badge icon of s'mores   a badge icon of a canoe on a lake   a badge icon of a person in hiking boots    a badge icon of a picnic table next to a lake   a badge icon of a telescope under a starry sky   a badge icon of a VW bus on a mountainside

We know that some days will be busier than others, so whether you read 10 pages or 10 books in one day, you can log that as a reading day for the challenge. Running from June 1 to August 29, the Summer Reading program is 90 days long. If you ever need a break, skip up to 10 days without missing out on a raffle entry.
