Participants of all ages are invited to take part in the Carmel Clay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program from June 1 through July 31. This year’s program features a partnership with the Merciful HELP Center’s Choice Food Pantry.
“One of the most popular things about our Summer Reading Program is the opportunity for readers to earn donations toward a local charity,” Youth Services Assistant Manager Jennifer Humphrey said. “In the past, we’ve supported Hamilton County groups like the Shepherd’s Center and the Humane Society. This year, our readers will be helping the Choice Food Pantry, which provides food and personal care items to neighbors in need.”
Children who complete the Summer Reading Program will also earn two free books and a sticker to keep, while teen and adult participants will be entered into prize drawings. Participants track their reading online through the free Beanstack Tracker app or at carmel.beanstack.com.
Complete program details, along with reading recommendations and a list of upcoming library events, are available at carmelclaylibrary.org/summer.
