There’s still time for kids of all ages to participate and keep their minds sharp throughout the summer.
There’s still time for kids of all ages to participate in the Burlington County Library System’s 2017 Summer Reading Program.
The program, which features the theme “Build a Better World,” runs until Aug. 12 and encourages kids to track their reading progress, earn fun prizes, and attend library events about science, nature and more to help keep their minds sharp all summer long.
All BCLS Summer Reading participants are invited to celebrate their accomplishments at special events planned at select library branches in August.
Library officials say participation has been strong again this year by young readers who are using “Beanstack,” the BCLS online tracking system, to log their progress, explore books lists, and access activity guides customized for their age groups. (Paper BCLS reading logs are also available.)
One library prize is awarded for every 10 books a child ages 5 and under reads and for every four hours a child ages 6 to 11 reads.
Plus, extra rewards are earned by completing online Activity Tracks.
In addition, kids ages 12 to 18 who play the new BCLS Teen Summer Reading Bingo game that encourages reading and tackling fun activities are also eligible to earn library rewards.
