Log 20 minutes of reading or listening each day and each time you try a new activity this summer. All reading counts- try listening to an audiobook, browsing an eBook or newspaper, or pick up a graphic novel or comic book!

Just for registering, all participants 18 years and under can pick up a free book at their library. Complete the challenge to be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship.

Adults taking the Summer Learning Challenge can read or listen to three books (physical, digital, or audio) to be entered into a prize drawing for a gift card. Adults who complete the challenge will be automatically entered into the drawing. Sign up online.
