How do you stride through summer?

In an effort to stem summer slide, SFPL celebrates Summer Stride every year where we offer even more engaging and exciting learning and interactive opportunities. Challenge yourself and others to read, learn and listen with the Library this summer and earn a coveted SFPL tote bag.


There are three ways for you to complete the challenge: Track 20 hours of learning on the Summer Stride tracker, log your progress virtually on Beanstack, or complete a Summer Stride SFPL Bingo Card (Chinese | Filipino | Spanish). After you complete the challenge, pick up your finishing prize featuring art from San Francisco illustrator Kenard Pak!

Have you illustrated a commercially published children’s book? Do you love your library and San Francisco? Is your work a great fit for a summer learning campaign? If yes, we’re looking for you.
