CC Library Summer Reading Program Begins June 7

Kick off your summer with the Churchill County Library’s 2025 Summer Reading Program, open to all ages—newborn through adult. The program runs from June 7 through July 31, and registration is open now at bit.ly/CCLSummerReading. Participants can track their progress using a printed reading log or by logging books online through Beanstack.

The kick-off event takes place Saturday, June 7 at 10 a.m. at the library. Stop by to pick up a registration bag and check out the amazing vehicles our local community helpers use.

With each visit to the library during the program, participants who show their reading log—printed or digital—will receive a free book. Readers will also be entered into a grand prize raffle for their age group.

To join online, visit churchillcountylibrary.beanstack.com/reader365 or download the Beanstack app from your phone’s app store.
