Summer is here, and so is your next great adventure—right at the Los Gatos Library. Our Summer Reading Challenge is four weeks away from being over! This challenge is designed for all ages to discover new stories, challenge yourself to read more, and celebrate the joy of stories together as a community. Dive into books, earn fun rewards, and connect with fellow readers all summer long. Getting started is easy! Simply visit our Beanstack book log to sign up, track your reading, and explore a world of activities and prizes. Let’s make this a summer to remember—one page at a time! But that is not where the fun ends, join us for a Bingo Night on July 17th for a chance to take home some amazing prizes, or on July 26th, stop by the Library for a Mental Health Class, Ending the Silence, aimed at adults who have young people in their lives who are looking for mental health services. Happy Reading, Los Gatos Library Staff |
