Greetings CSD Librarian and Staff,
It’s almost time for Camas Public Library’s Summer Reading Program! In this email you will find all the information you need about the Program. The Summer Reading Program is both a reading challenge for all ages, as well as a host of events and programs to do over the course of the summer. It’s a great way to promote reading over the summer months and have fun!
READING CHALLENGE
How it works: Track your reading and get prizes. To complete the Summer Reading Program, participants will need to read for 40 days this summer. It’s up to you how much you read each day.
Dates: You can track your reading from June 14 to August 16
How to track your reading:
· You can track your reading using a paper game board available to pick up at the Library or you can print one at home using these links: Kids Gameboard, Teens Gameboard, and Adults Gameboard
· Or you can track your reading using the Beanstack Tracker App available in app stores. Or on the Beanstack website: https://camaspubliclibrary.beanstack.org/
· Learn more about using Beanstack with this video: https://youtu.be/DAYd74p1h_A?si=IwHBic5RMeqvbIpp
Prizes: You will be able to win prizes throughout the summer! Every time you complete 10 days of reading you can come into the Library and get a small prize. After completing 40 days of reading, participants will earn a free book and a scratch-off ticket for a chance to win a grand prize.
EVENTS: We have lots of fun events all summer long! You can see a list on our Summer Reading Program guide available here (Link to program guide). Links to individual events and flyers below. You can also visit https://camaspl.org/events

Library Cards: Want your students to get a Camas Public Library card? All they need to do is to fill out an online application, or come to the Library with a parent/guardian. If they apply online, we will mail the card or hold it at the Library for pickup. Library cards are free to everyone (you don’t need to live in Camas). If a replacement card is needed or they are not sure if their account is still active, they can call us at 360-834-4692 or come in; we will get it all straightened out.
I hope you all are doing well; please let me know if you have any questions, or if you think of any other ideas for reaching out to your students!
