Summer Reading!
The Everett Public Libraries are excited to announce our 2022 summer reading program, Oceans of Possibilities. Using Beanstack, readers of all ages can track the number of minutes they read in order to win free books and other great prizes. For every 5 hours of reading, participants will win a free book and a prize. At 20 hours of reading, kids will be invited to the End of Summer Pizza Party and teens will be invited to an after hours Library Lock-In!
For more information, watch our summer reading announcement video.
For help using Beanstack, watch our registration tutorial or our reading log tutorial. If you still have questions, you can call us at 617-394-2300.
