This summer, join other teens and Level Up at the Library! 
From Book Club to a Zine Exchange and more, the library is a space to connect and have fun. A reading challenge invites teens to read and earn prizes.

1. Sign up on Beanstack, then pop by the Library to snag a FREE book (yep, yours to keep!).

 2. Share your book reviews to rack up entries for weekly $15 gift card giveaways. More reviews = more chances!

 3. Read 600+ minutes this summer to score a goodie bag and a chance to win a $75 Fashion Island gift card!
