Summer reading 2025
submitted by Prescott Public Library
Every year, library staff look forward to planning and preparing for a summer of reading fun. The benefits to participating in a summer reading program are many, including helping kids to make reading a lifelong habit, maintaining and increasing reading skills, and generating interest in the library and books.
For all these reasons and more, Prescott Public Library’s summer reading program kicked off May 22 and runs through July 26.
This program encourages everyone to read for pleasure over the summer months with prizes, programs and activities to reward you along the way. Adults also can participate in their own summer reading program by logging minutes and earning chances to win a variety of prizes
The summer reading program is free, fun and encourages reading all summer long!
How to Participate:
You can sign up in one of three ways:
• Sign up at the Youth Desk (youth) or Ask a Librarian Desk (adults) and receive a paper reading log to track your minutes.
• Sign up and log your minutes online at prescottpl.beanstack.org.
• Get the Beanstack app, then sign up and log your minutes through the app.
