Read, Renew, Repeat!

Reading can provide us with a renewed sense of purpose and a fresh outlook on our world. Sharing those connections and perspectives strengthens our bonds and understanding of those around us. We encourage you to share what you're reading this summer, with those around you and our community. Whether you're sharing an old favorite or a new discovery through reviews on Beanstack or here at the library, in lively book group discussions, cuddled up with a favorite furry friend, or stories before bedtime, read something new or reread an old favorite this summer. We're setting a community goal of 50,000 days of reading and hope you'll join together with us to reach it. You can even earn the chance to win prizes, as you track your days reading. We encourage readers to choose books and stories from an array of diverse authors and topics & celebrate the transformative power of seeing oneself reflected in a book.

DPL offers Summer Reading Programs for everyone! Reading is essential at every age. Through books, we can learn more about the world around us and learn from the experiences of others. Reading is good for both brain development and physical health. Make time to read, especially during those long, active summer months. Sign up AND track online with Beanstack!
