The Broward Library “Imagine Your Story” Online Summer Program runs through Aug. 15, allowing readers to track the books they’ve read in the Beanstack program.
Users get chances to win prizes by reading, writing book reviews and completing online activities, such as downloading books and movies, attending virtual library events and exploring library resources.
Students can also link their library Beanstack account to their school’s account so their reading gets logged for both.
Readers in four different age groups — Early Learner, Child, Teen and Adult — can earn a “completion” digital badge and prize pack for meeting reading goals, and they can complete digital activities to earn an entry into the grand prize drawing.
Throughout the summer, Broward County Library has scheduled online activity challenges and virtual events for kids, including an Anime Club, Game Design, Making Your First Comic, storytelling and more.
Additional fun activity ideas for families are included in the clickable calendar in the library’s online 2020 summer magazine.
The Alvin Sherman Library at Nova Southeastern University in Davie also has a summer program. It offers STEM For Kids Zoom workshops, a Writing Studio + Book Club for ages 10-15, weekly Teen Yoga, Wags & Tails Mini-Storytimes and more.
