Adult Summer Reading Program
June 3rd - July 29th
Record each book you read online or ask Reference staff to record titles for you. Every print book, eBook and audiobook you record is an entry into our weekly drawing for a $15 Apple House gift card or our biweekly drawing for an awesome prize basket. You can also download free eBooks, magazines, videos and music on our website so don’t miss out!
Note: If you have participated in one of our reading programs in the past using Beanstack, you don't need to create a new user to sign up - simply login to your original account and check the box to register for the current program.

Adult Summer Reading is made possible through the generous donation and support of the Friends of Samuels Library. Thank you FOSL!
