June 4, 2021

Martin County Library System (MCLS) presents the 2021 Summer Reading Program, "Tails and Tales," encapsulating the themes of animals and stories. The program helps readers of all ages prevent the dreaded "summer slide."

  • Kids (babies through grade 5): Register at mcls.beanstack.org or download the (free) Beanstack Tracker app for iOS/Android (or for a paper reading log, visit your local library branch) to track your progress and to view daily virtual events by Page Turner Adventures. Read books, earn free book prizes, and qualify for a grand prize upon completing the program: a pass to Sailfish Splash Water Park!

  • Teens (grades 6 through 12): Submit online book reviews at mcls.beanstack.org. Earn volunteer time for each review submitted and entry into a $50 Amazon gift card raffle!

  • Adults: Participate all summer long by signing up at mcls.beanstack.org in order to receive weekly book recommendations!

Special activities and events (including Page Turner Adventures virtual events), are planned to accompany the program. Visit our online events calendar for information.
