Summer 2022 marks the return of in-person events, and Bruce County Public Library is jumping right in with a huge medieval-themed Summer Reading Club kick-off party! Join them Saturday, June 25, at their Sauble Beach branch, 27 Community Center Drive. The Kick-Off event will run from 10am to 4pm, with a full day of adventure planned. Practice your aim with the inflatable axe-throwing, challenge your family to a potato sack race, or test your creativity with a green screen photo and prop making. There will also be a schedule of timed events throughout the day, including two shows from Wild Ontario Birds of Prey and Knights in the Classroom activities. This is a free event open to all Bruce County residents.

While there, you’ll want to make sure you steal away from all the fun and excitement to register for 2022’s TD Summer Reading Club! 

All summer long, readers will have the option to log their reading hours through Beanstack. Beanstack is an online platform available through a web browser or app, where you can create a profile for yourself or your child and log your reading, write reviews, challenge friends and more. No app? No problem! When visiting one of BCPL’s 17 branches, you can request a paper log to participate. Participants will receive a kit including a button, ribbon, sticker sheet, and fortune teller when registering. When they hit logged reading goals, they will receive a notification that they’ve earned another ribbon to add to their collection and will then be able to pick it up at a library branch.  

All reading time logged each month earns ballots for that month’s draw. Prizes will include a Crayola Pour ‘n Paint, kits, and mini-dragons and will be drawn at the end of July and August, one per municipality. 

BCPL will keep the fun going all summer, with branches hosting weekly themed programs. Each program will have corresponding badges to earn for attending.
