GFPL Youth Summer Reading Program Kicks off With Free Party on Friday, June 6th

The Great Falls Public Library is inviting children, teens and their families to come Celebrate Great Falls Public Schools’ last day and the start of Summer Reading by decorating a free tote bag and getting signed up for the Library's Summer Reading program. The kick-off party is Friday, June 6 from 12:30 to 3 pm in the Cordingley Room. It is free to attend. The GFPL Youth Services Department will offer two different reading challenges to keep kids and teens reading and learning all summer long! Each book you read counts towards all the reading challenges you are enrolled in. You can still sign up for the Summer Reading Rewards Program and the Teen Loot Box program even if you do not attend the kick-off party. Children are asked to track their reading using our Beanstack app or a paper log. People can download Beanstack from the Google Play or Apple App Store, or visit our Beanstack site on our website.Kids and teens birth to 18 will earn a small prize for every 5 hours they read all summer long! Visit the Kids’ Place Desk to choose your prize from our prize cart.Each week, readers who have completed 5 hours of reading will be entered in a drawing to win a bigger prize, such as a 3D printed dragon or another premium fidget toy. Visit our Facebook Page to see each week’s prize!Youth Summer Reading is made possible by Marshall Orthodontics and the Great Falls Public Library Foundation. Library Loot Boxes are made possible by a Keep Kids Reading Grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation. Teens ages 12 to 18, meanwhile, are invited to sign up for their free Library Loot Box!Each box contains three library books individually selected just for you, plus prizes and candy to sweeten your reading. Readers who complete at least two of their three Library Loot Box books and log their reading using our Beanstack app will earn a chance to win a free Nintendo Switch 2 gaming system plus two games!Pick-up starts June 6, when our Summer Reading Program kicks off. Please see our website calendar for a complete list of our free Summer Reading events for kids, teens, and adults. Even if you sign up after June 6, you can still receive a Loot Box and you do not need to attend the party. A Kids’ Place staff member or volunteer will contact you when your Loot Box is ready to pick up at the Circulation Desk. We will make every effort to have your box ready within 2-3 weeks after signing up. Thank you for your patience!
