WHAT IS IT?
Pikes Peak Library District’s (PPLD) Summer Adventure reading program has been
around for more than 50 years and is the perfect way to have fun with your children and
create lasting memories. We will help you find things to read and explore so that you
have new adventures together.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Kids (and adults!) can participate and win prizes through reading, creating, and
exploring. You can read and participate in the Library’s many summer programs or pick
up a list of activity ideas at your go-to Library location to enjoy together. You can even
win prizes!
Activities may include:
Reading (this includes audiobooks, comics, graphic novels, magazines, recipes,
etc.)
Attending PPLD’s exciting events around the District
Going for a walk, doing yoga, finding someplace new, playing, or dancing
Drawing, writing a story, crafting, or building
WHAT DOES IT COST?
There is no cost to participate in PPLD’s Summer Adventure program!
WHY PARTICIPATE?
It is a known fact that kids experience learning loss over the summer… this is known as
“summer slide.” PPLD’s Summer Adventure helps combat this loss in a fun and
engaging way so kids have a strong start when school resumes in the fall.
There is something truly special about the bond between parents and children. It is a
connection built on love, wisdom, and shared wonder. You have a unique opportunity to
inspire the next generation, and the Library is here to help. Spend your summer days
together reading and participating in fun activities all around town.
HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?
First, you can register for the program in person at your favorite Library location
or visit ppld.beanstack.org to register online through Beanstack. Or you can
download the Beanstack app and register there.
Next, complete 30 days of activities (either reading, exploring, or creating) from
Mon., June 2 – Thu., July 31.
Then, track your progress on the Summer Adventure game card tracker
(available at any PPLD location or online at ppld.org/summer) or by logging a day
