Summer Reading Challenge - All Together Now

This summer, let’s celebrate togetherness! Our reading challenge rewards are all about paying it forward - the more you read, the more chances you get to choose how to do that. There are separate challenges for children, teens, and adults. Get registered for All Together Now, track your reading, and complete the challenge using our online reading challenge platform called Beanstack. You can access Beanstack online or via any mobile device using the Beanstack app.

Summer Reading Kickoff

Join us on the Library Plaza to enjoy some fresh air and peppy music as we kick off the summer reading season. This year's theme is All Together Now, and we look forward to celebrating all the possibilities of what we can do together when we join in as a community. At this event, we will be available to answer questions about the summer reading program and Beanstack, our online reading program platform. We'll also have temporary tattoos, a giant coloring page, chalk art, bubbles, bookmarks, and our famous button-making station where participants can design their own buttons. The Burleigh County Library will have the bookmobile parked in the lot so visitors can hop on and look around. In addition, the Friends of the Bismarck Public Library will be hosting a sale of children's books in the lower level of the library. We hope you can stop by to enjoy some fun with us. All together now!!
