Summer is off to a vibrant start at Hedberg Public Library! In just three weeks, more than 1,400 participants of all ages have registered for the HPL 2025 Summer Library Challenge, Color Our World! That’s already more registrations than the entire summer last year! Participants have read more than 284,967 minutes and completed more than 1,765 activities. Keep up the great work!
Want to join the fun? Stop at any service desk, at HPL Express in Uptown Janesville, visit the HPL Bookmobile, or register online through August 8 and then pick up your lanyard and Color Our World buttons. A library card is not needed to participate in the challenge. Once registered, record your reading and fun summer activities to earn prizes and a free book!
TRACK READING & ACTIVITIES!
Use a print Reading Log or our online program, Beanstack, to keep track of your READING and ACTIVITIES and EARN PRIZES along the way! Don’t forget that ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, comics, newspapers, and magazines all count toward reading time.
Readers that complete all 8 levels will be recognized with their first name on a sign placed in the library’s yard for the entire community to see!
PICK UP A FREE BOOK!
Summer Library Challenge participants of all ages will receive a FREE BOOK at the end of the Summer Library Challenge. Books for all ages will be available at the library’s Summer Desk from August 1-15.
Find more summer fun on our calendar and help us COLOR OUR WORLD!
