Adventure was calling at your library this summer, and scores of people accepted the challenge!
This summer’s Bethlehem Area Public Library Adult Summer Reading Challenge encouraged over 240 participants to explore their choice of books and provided incentive to learn about library resources. Participants could find new recipes in the A to Z World Food Database, read about the Olympics in our global online news archives, or experiment with a language learning app. They read award-winning books, re-read childhood favorites, and watched movies about explorers. Many people said they enjoyed doing the challenges with their children and grandchildren who were participating in the children’s Summer Reading program.
Participants could choose how many challenge tasks they wanted to do—the more they did, the more chances they earned in our fabulous Adult Summer Reading Raffle! Thanks to generous donations from local businesses, we were able to offer six adventure-themed prize baskets. We are grateful to these businesses and individuals for their support:
