HCPL’s Summer Reading program kicks off June 1.
By Jason Rogers, Library Programming Manager
Get ready to transform your summer from ordinary to extraordinary! This year, our library’s summer reading program isn’t just about reading—it’s about experiencing the Art of Reading. We invite you to become a connoisseur of stories, a curator of characters, and a critic of captivating narratives. Think of each book as a vibrant canvas, each chapter a brushstroke, and each completed page a step closer to creating your masterpiece of literary appreciation. Join us as we embark on a journey through the galleries of imagination!
Readers of all ages can join us this summer to track reading and earn rewards. Get the credit you deserve for every chapter by going to hcplc.beanstack.org. Beanstack is a next-level website (and app!) for capturing your personal reading progress. Once enrolled in the summer challenge, you can track the reading time and be eligible for prizes from our SRP partners – plus digital badges for bragging rights!
We look forward to blending the art of reading through discovering, engaging, and transformative experiences throughout the summer! Here are a few titles for your artistic inspiration.
PreK “See Marcus Grow” by Marcus Bridgewater (2025)
Kids “Head Full of Clouds” by Joanne Schwartz (2025)
Tweens “Fake” by Ele Fountain (2022)
Teens “Hangry Hearts” by Jennifer Chen (2025)
