Tails and Tales Summer Reading Challenge Registration

June 22, 2021 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

School is almost out and that means it’s time for Summer Reading at Worcester County Library (WCL). From June 21 to Aug. 6, WCL encourages reading by providing prizes and special activities to keep kids and teens engaged and entertained during those long summer months away from school. This year’s theme is Tails and Tales, with stories and activities focusing on animals and the natural world.

“Reading together as a family helps prevent summer learning loss and encourages strong communication and bonding,” says Assistant Director Rachael Stein. “In addition, we’re thrilled to be able to offer a variety of outdoor activities at our library branches this year!”

The event kicks off with walk-up registration events throughout the week of June 21. Families that register at these events will go home with a t-shirt and a swag bag full of goodies (while supplies last).

  • Snow Hill Branch— Monday, June 21 from 10:30 to 12:00 or from 5:00 to 6:30.
  • Ocean City Branch— Tuesday, June 22 from 10:30 to 12:00 or from 5:00 to 6:30.
  • Berlin Branch— Wednesday, June 23 from 10:30 to 12:00 or from 5:00 to 6:30.
  • Pocomoke Branch— Thursday, June 24 from 10:30 to 12:00 or from 5:00 to 6:30.
  • Ocean Pines Branch— Saturday, June 26 from 10:30 to 1:30.

Families can also register at http://worcesterlibrary.beanstack.org, or by visiting any library branch after June 26.

There are two ways to participate in the program:

Paper Activity Sheets: Pick up your activity sheets at any branch during our Walk Up Registration Events or at any branch of the library after June 26.  Each activity earns a free book and an entry in the Grand Prize Raffles.  Each time you earn a badge, take your activity sheet to the library to pick up your free book!

Online with Beanstack or with Beanstack Mobile App: Log the books or minutes you read to earn badges. Each badge earns a free book and an entry in the Grand Prize Raffles.  Each time you earn a badge, visit the library to pick up your free book!

There will be live in-person events at each branch this summer, and we will continue to offer some of our more popular virtual events. Registration is required for all events, live and virtual, at worcesterlibrary.libcal.com

Families should bring a blanket to sit on at the outdoor events and remember that they are responsible for their own safety and social distancing at these gatherings.

Summer Reading: Tails and Tales is generously sponsored by DelVecchio’s Bakery, The Island Creamery, The Coffee Beanery, The Snowball Stand, Christmas Sweets, Delmarva Shorebirds, the Friends of the Ocean Pines Library, the Worcester County Library Foundation, and Eastern Shore Regional Library.
