Summer at Your Library 2024 for Adults

June 1 to July 28, 2024

Summer and OCLS are better together! Get connected with our in-person and virtual offerings including events and classes. Start your adventure with our online databases to learn a new language, enhance career skills, discover new books and more!

OCLS cardholders, 18 and older, can participate in our Summer at Your Library for Adults program by registering through Beanstack online or using the Beanstack app. Use Beanstack to track books you've read, write book reviews and participate in challenges to earn digital badges with a chance to win prizes.* Alternatively, paper trackers are available in English, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish.

For every badge a participant earns in Beanstack, a digital ticket will be awarded. Each ticket can be redeemed towards entry into a prize drawing, chosen by the participant, in the “Drawings” section of the Beanstack challenge.  The more tickets earned, the more chances there are to win a prize! Each participant may only win one prize. The Adult Summer at Your Library Reading Challenge 2024 and prize drawings will close on Sunday, July 28, 2024. Winners of each drawing will be notified by August 9, 2024.

 *An Orange County Library regular, property owner or fee card in good standing is required to be eligible to win prizes. Reciprocal borrowers, OCLS staff and their families, including board members, are ineligible.

Sign up for an OCLS card or visit any of our Orange County Library locations to register for a library card in person.
