Ferndale Library's 2025 Summer Reading Program
The theme of our 2025 Summer Reading Program is "Color Our World!" We'll invite participants of all ages to embark on a journey of art and creativity, celebrating the myriad ways in which art enriches our lives!
We'll have unique reading challenges for Early Readers (ages 0-4), Kids, (ages 5-12), Teens (ages 13-18), and Adults (18+).
Kickoff is set for Saturday, JUNE 7th—12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us at the library anytime during the afternoon on June 7 for a Summer Reading Kickoff Party & Sign-Up Spree! FADL Staff can help sign up kids, teens, caregivers, families, and individual adults + Between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, you can enjoy fun indoor and outdoor activities, as well as ice cream from Treat Dreams!
As in previous years, our Summer Reading Participants will use Beanstack, a web and mobile app that individuals and families can use to log their reading and complete various activities, to complete our Challenge and win some awesome prizes!
Our Summer Reading Challenge doesn't open in Beanstack until June 7th, 2025, but you can always create your account(s) early if you'd like.
The Beanstack App can engage and motivate participants of all ages to read and have fun at the library all summer long. But you can still participate without using the mobile or desktop app--paper logs will be available upon request!
2025 Summer Reading Challenges!
Each age group will complete a unique Bingo Card in the Beanstack App!
