Think summer reading challenges are only for children? Think again! This year, Bethlehem Area Public Library invites adults to join the fun with our Adult Summer Reading Challenge<\/i>, running from June 14 through August 1.<\/p>\n

Our challenge takes the form of a \u201cBookopoly\u201d game board, available at any BAPL library location – even our Bookmobile! Each space on the board features a fun activity that encourages reading, creativity, or trying something new at the library. Each space offers a fun way to connect with reading and library services. You might be challenged to read a book with a yellow cover, try a recipe from a library cookbook, or look someone up using our genealogy databases.<\/p>\n

Complete four challenges and earn your first raffle ticket, along with a small treat bag. For every four additional challenges, you\u2019ll receive another raffle ticket\u2014up to a maximum of six.<\/p>\n

Raffle prizes this year include seven themed baskets: Book Lovers, Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, Lazy Summer Day, Local Luxury, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, Tech Treasures, and World Heritage Celebration.<\/p>\n

Participants must be 18 or older and reside within the BAPL service area. Only one challenge chart per patron, and 18-year-olds must choose to enter either<\/i> the Youth Services or<\/i> Adult raffle\u2014not both.<\/p>\n

Stop by and pick up your Bookopoly board to get started. Read, explore, and win\u2014this summer, the library has something for everyone.<\/p>\n
