This is your invitation to make it a summer for the books! The Newport Beach Public Library invites readers of all ages to take part in a special Citywide Summer Reading Program, June 6-August 1.
Track your reading, earn prizes, and enjoy free programs and activities designed to bring families and community members together all summer long. Join the challenge everyone will be talking about as our community comes together with one bold goal: 1 million minutes of reading this summer. It’s more than a reading challenge. It’s a summer of smart and a summer of fun!
Early registration begins May 26 on Beanstack.
