July through August 15: Summer Reading with the Bridgewater Public Library. This program is open to all ages and broken into two groups: 0-12 and 13+. We are using Beanstack to log your reading minutes to earn badges & the chance to win prizes. Parents can read to their kids and log for them. Any type of reading counts- audiobooks, graphic novels, magazines or newspapers.
For kids who read 2 hours in a week, there will be a weekly drawing where they can win a bag of books (book selection is random and varies each week). There will also be the popular word of the week hidden in the children's room each week, so additional tickets can be earned by participating and entering the keyword in Beanstack.
