Earn prizes for reading? Talk about a win-win proposition! Beloit Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge encourages people of all ages to read this summer by offering prizes for milestones reached. The program will run from June 8 through August 31 and will award prizes for readers of all ages when they accomplish certain milestones.
Pick up a reading log at BPL, fill in the circle of minutes you read, and turn it in to library staff to collect your prizes.
