Summer at Your Library

Track Your Reading and Activities

Broward County Library’s annual Summer Learning Program is a series of free, fun, events for all ages designed to teach, entertain, and inspire creativity. This year’s theme is “All Together Now,” with programs focusing on kindness, friendship, unity and community. There is something for everyone with book discussions, games, trivia, arts and crafts, community projects, lectures, interactive children’s programs, storytimes, movies and so much more!

This year’s “All Together Now” Summer Learning Program highlights include special visits from the Florida Panthers as well as special interactive workshops from Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, On the Go Music, Whole Vibes Music Therapy and Lessons, Lark Keeler Art Studio, RobyArtsy Studio, Girls Make Beats, Mad Science Palm Beach, Museum of Discovery and Science STEMobile, and more.

This summer we are hosting challenges, events, activities and programs that will be sure to get you involved, engaged and entertained. Readers of all ages can preregister for challenges, making them eligible for chances to win great prizes from Museum of Discovery and Science, Miami Children’s Museum, Water Taxi, Everglades Holiday Park, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers, Jungle Queen, Shake Shack, Xtreme Action Park, Zoo Miami, Funderdome and more.

Reading over the summer helps prevent learning loss in children and teens and builds skills that maintain or improve academic proficiency scores. Adults can read for enjoyment, explore our many digital resources and attend library events, all of which model good learning behaviors to children and teens.

Start now by registering your entire family for our Summer Challenge (via Beanstack) at Broward.org/ Library/Summer. We have reading challenges for all ages, from Early Learners to Children to Teens to Adults.

READ AND TRACK YOUR FUN

FROM JUNE 1 - AUGUST 12, 2023

The Broward County Library Summer Program encourages children, teens, and adults to continue to read over the summer months. Carve out time for the types of books that interest you and your young readers. Reading success in older children, teens, and adults is connected to positive feelings about reading when they are younger.

Summer learning matters – it inspires a love of reading and helps prevent students from falling behind when it is time to report back to school.

Beanstack, our online tracking software, makes it easy for children, teens, adults, and families to earn digital badges and chances to win grand prizes by keeping track of their reading and completing fun activities.

STEP 1:

Register an individual reader or an entire family online through our BCL Beanstack website or Beanstack Tracker App (Apple or Android).

STEP 2:

Read/listen, complete activities and track your progress through BCL Beanstack. Aim for your age group goal.

STEP 3:

Earn digital badges for logging books you read and for completing activities.

EXTRA CHALLENGE:

Keep reading to earn more chances to win grand prizes (grand prizes are chosen by raffle drawings.)

Be ready for Broward County Libraries (BCL) to dazzle you with unexpected, imaginative programs in June, July and August! Welcome to our summer!

We’re excited about celebrity guests – they’re coming! I can’t wait to personally interview hilarious Florida Man and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dave Barry on June 16 at Main Library. Be with me when we talk about his first new book in a decade, Swamp Story: A Novel. Come meet Dave and get a book signed. At Stirling Road Branch in July, the South Florida Hollywood Historical Society brings us Bryan Norcross, Fox News meteorologist and legendary hurricane specialist, to give us The History of Hurricanes in South Florida.

DIRECTOR’S DIRECTOR’S

Also in July (and early August), stars from the Florida Panthers Summer Reading Tour, including Stanley C. Panther himself, come to select BCL locations to mingle with you.

We’ll be buddying up, learning and feeling good with the 2023 Summer Learning Program theme: “All Together Now,” about kindness, caring and unity in diversity. Adults, children, toddlers and teens – let’s all join together for discovering, exploring, and above all, appreciating one another for our differences.

It all starts at the 18th Annual Children’s BookFest, our Summer Learning Program kick-off event, on June 3rd at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center. Everyone is invited to the party – bring the family and enjoy a day (11AM4PM) filled with fun, including a book giveaway, live entertainment, arts & crafts, face painting, activities, costumed characters, local authors, vendors and a virtual reality demo.

From there, let’s dive deep into a feel-good summer in June as we Learn How to Be Kind to Sea Turtles at Southwest Regional Library and become an expert on Sea Turtles of South Florida at the Dania Beach Paul DeMaio Branch. Want to know What Lurks Beneath? Get a glimpse underwater with Bob from the Future and BCL’s own submarine at Sunrise Dan Pearl Branch in July. Teens and kids are called to become ocean preservationists at two July Pompano Beach Library programs, “Coral in Crisis” and a special field trip to Biscayne Bay.

Sincerely,

Grubbs

We love our furry friends as well, coming together to cuddle at the Foster Kitten Workshop at Miramar Branch and at Deerfield Branch for Adopting a Pet in Broward County, both in June. Katie’s Kids Yoga has wonderful classes all summer, including Kindness with Pets at Weston Branch in June. Make this the summer that you enlist pet-therapy pooches who want to be your child’s best pal, confidence builder and reading partner. Turn a child into a champion at Wags &Tales and watch grades rise!

All Together Now is about the library as everyone’s favorite hangout, without regard to ability, identity or ethnicity. Sensory Supportive Music - presented by Whole Vibes Music Therapy in June is a group for children who learn differently and need a sensoryfriendly environment.

We’ve been busy inventing new programs…but we can’t pass up BCL classics! If it’s June it’s time to celebrate Juneteenth and that means our Annual Blues and Sweet Potato Pie Festival which returns June 17th to Apollo Park, next to Northwest Branch Library. Come for the fun, including amazing live performances, exhibits, professional storytellers, old fashioned games of skill and blue-ribbon food. Find this and other Juneteenth programs on the library events calendar.

In July, the African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC) brings us the 11th installment of the South Florida Book Festival, entitled WORD! Celebrating of 50 Years of Hip-Hop Culture.

It’s no secret that we love to celebrate Caribbean Heritage Month and party, so get ready for a slew of great programs such as National Caribbean American Heritage Month Evening of Entertainment at Margate Branch, Healing & Wellness Summer Sessions at Lauderdale Lakes Branch, “Pieces

of Jamaica” art exhibit discussion with talented photographer David I. Muir, Caribbean-American Arts & Crafts Sale at Miramar Branch, Caribbean Heritage Festival at Lauderhill Central Park Library or Cultural Connections Family Event at North Regional/Broward College Library.

Get on the mailing list for Library Magazine and don’t miss a thing! View the special summer issue to find three months of events for all ages listed by location including arts and crafts, writing workshops, book clubs, health/wellness, career/ business and more.
