Summer Reading for Adults

Summer is for reading, and this year we're discovering ways to Color Our World. From June 2 to July 31, we invite you to embark on a journey of art and creativity, celebrating the myriad ways in which art enriches our lives. We'll have decorations, programs, and other exciting features designed to inspire and engage readers of all ages through a diverse array of artistic expressions.

Starting in May, you can register for the Summer Reading Club by visiting BPL's Beanstack page, downloading and registering on the free Beanstack app for Apple or Android, or by visiting Bentonville Public Library's Children's desk.

Log the time you spend reading from June 2nd through July 31st to be entered into the prize drawings of your choice. You'll get one entry for each hour of reading you log (up to 100 hours).  Read at least 30 hours to be entered into the grand prize drawings!  All reading counts - newspapers, magazines, audiobooks, reading to your kids, cereal boxes, whatever!

Get the whole family involved with Teen and Kids Summer Reading Clubs, too!
