Summer at Your Library
Broward County Library’s annual Summer Learning Program features a summer of amazing events, entertainment, enrichment, prizes and fun for children, teens and adults. This year’s theme is “Unearth a Story,” an invitation to explore with events, opportunities and experiences to delight, enrich and amaze.
Read & Learn for Prizes
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.
Track your summer reading, activities and challenges for chances to win great prizes including:
• Experiences from the Bluefoot Pirate Adventures, Florida Panthers, FLOW Las Olas, Carrie B Cruises, Water Taxi, Miami Heat, Miami Marlins and more.
• Tickets and coupons for Wendy’s, Museum of Discovery and Science, Young At Art Museum, Frost Science Museum, and more.
Explore Free Events
Summer events will include book discussions and book related programs (trivia, book inspired crafts, etc.), cultural programs (like musical performances and theatrical productions), wellness programs, science education programs, and more. Fun free programs all summer! Readers have the opportunity to win prizes from a variety of local community organizations and businesses, such as Museum of Discovery and Science, Young at Art Museum, Florida Panthers, Pirate Bluefoot Adventures, Miami Zoo, MadArts, Butterfly World and more.
Already have a Broward County Library Beanstack account that you have used for past BCL challenges? Great! Now is the time to log into Beanstack, update your account and enroll in the 2026 Summer Challenge for your age group.

Students who use Beanstack at a Broward County Public School for Reading Across Broward can link their accounts so that their summer reading gets tracked in both their Beanstack accounts for school and public library this summer.

Read what you love! Did you know that graphic novels, comics, picture books, magazines and audiobooks all count as reading?
Want to earn rewards and chances to win great prizes?

You may have heard the exciting news that Broward County Library was named Florida Library Association 2026 Library of the Year. One reason for the prestigious honor is the world-class summer program we offer adults and children...so let’s get you signed up to win prizes as we get ready to wow you in the months ahead!
The theme for this megasaurus of a summer is “Unearth a Story.” Beginning June 1, we are dino-soaring through this season with programs to bring you thrilling discoveries, exciting experiences and amazing adventures. The 2026 Summer Learning Program is a super-special way to uncover your finest talents and unleash your most memorable moments. You’re thinking, “Cool…but sounds expensive.”
How do you get in on free discoverythemed workshops, games, contests, crafts, musical and theatrical productions, programs and fun classes,
along with exciting events and activities that explore wellness, art, travel, and science? Put down your wallet and pick up your library card. That’s our mantra because it’s all free at the library!
Imagine what you would have to pay to create a line-up of recreational events like those waiting for you at your library. Better still, calculate for yourself what a public library leaves in your pocket with the American Library Association’s Library Value Calculator. We’ve brought you everything from garden seeds to magic shows, so feel free to add those, too.
At the Director’s Book Club, I’m looking forward to seeing you and talking about Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid in June and Culpability by Bruce Holsinger in July. In August we skip a meeting and meet up again in September for Amy Tan’s The Backyard Bird Chronicles. You are in for some good reading in the months ahead.
You’ll get a few more ‘savings binge’ tips from my A-List, which offers free and fascinating talks for curious adults as we move towards our country’s 250th Anniversary. Hear from leading experts in all fields in our Special Online Author Events, lecturers from the Florida Humanities America 250 Florida Talks
programming, and speakers from TED Democracy Philadelphia: Founding Futures LIVE. No expensive subscriptions or tickets – just amazing ideas! Meanwhile, inquisitive kids are all set with content-secure Playaway Launchpad Learning Tablets for hours of instructive games and activities that require no connectivity or downloading.
Wishing you an amazing summer of discoveries about yourself and your world!
Sincerely,
Allison Grubbs
