Highlights of the Vigo County Public Library Summer Reading Program

For the past few years, the library has hosted their programming (and registration) through the Beanstack website and app.

For our family, we have kids in the 0-5, 6-11, teeen, and adult category. Here are a few highlights we see on the app for our family and yours!

Sign up and receive a free book!

When you sign up for the Summer Reading Program, your kids can automatically come in and choose a free book (to keep) at the library!

Log your reading hours and complete online challenges to win prizes. 

Children ages 0-11 will need to complete five hours of reading, while teens and adults require fifteen hours of reading to receive their first prize. 

Younger kids will be excited to see options for pizza and swimming! 

Attend in-person events! For example, on June 18th, parrrrrrrrty like a pirate. Climb aboard an inflatable pirate ship, hunt for treasure along the forbidden shorelines, and prove you’re a true pirate with a temporary tattoo! Get the whole family involved with games and grub fit for you and your crew.

Find more fun events in the library’s event calendar! 

Pick up a kit and enjoy the library experience at home. Kit registration usually begins at the first of the month. In July, there is a “Baby Shark” early literacy kit, a “quilling” eco-kit, a “Coral Reefs” make and take, and a koi fish paint by numbers! 

Find events for adults and teens. The summer reading program isn’t just for little ones! Adults can sign up to read and for in-person events like movie showings!
