2023 Summer Reading Program Announced


The Friends of Smyrna Library volunteer group is excited to once again sponsor the Smyrna Public Library Summer Reading Program.  This year’s theme is “All Together Now”.

Summer Reading Program & Events and Activities

Events and activities for all youth, from babies to high-schoolers. Registration begins Friday, May 19, 2023. 

READING CHALLENGE

Use Beanstack to track and log your reading. Earn a virtual badge for each hour logged. Read and log at least 10 hours of reading in order to receive your "Completion Badge" and receive your prize! Each participant who earns a completion badge will receive a certificate, BragTag, bookmark, sticker, coupon to Dairy Queen on Spring Rd, and a free book (courtesy of the Friends of Smyrna Library). 

Additionally, all participants who complete the reading challenge will be entered into a Grand Prize drawing. One winner from each of the following age categories will receive the listed prize:

Ages 4 and under: Jumbo Double Octagon Builders set
Ages 5-7: Squishmallow 8 pack. Figures may vary from pictured.
Ages 8-12: MYNT3D Super 3D Pen 

NEW UPDATE:

Download the Beanstack app for Apple or Android and track on the go!

Students enrolled in Cobb County Public Schools can now link their school Beanstack account to their Smyrna Public Library Beanstack account. It's easy to do and reading minutes logged will benefit both the school AND the library. Minutes will only need to be logged once but will apply to both accounts. 

For instructions on how to link an existing Cobb County student Beanstack account to a Library account, click here. If you need additional help with this process, stop by the library or email Rebecca Power, Youth Services Librarian.
