Join Us for Summer Library Club
Welcome to Summer Library Club (SLC), where this year's theme is "Color Our World!"
SLC is an 8 week program (May 31 - July 31) for all ages at all KCPL locations. Designed to be a fun activity for the entire family, the goal of the program is to develop and build literacy skills for young readers while establishing a lifetime love of reading and learning for readers of any age.
Once registered, readers log books, attend events, and complete activities to earn prizes along the way!
Track your progress on Beanstack or pick up a paper log at a library branch near you. For every 5 points up to 20 points, you will earn a prize!
Have fun and remember to log your points!
Please note that participants with Nitro Public Library as a home library location will not be eligible for the prizes listed for this challenge.
