Teen Summer Challenge 2024

June 10th through September 1st

Welcome back for another summer of fun! Join our Summer Challenge to earn prizes, grab a book, download an e-Book, join us at one of our events, reach out for reading recommendations from your librarians, or submit a recipe to the Darien Library Community Cookbook. We can’t wait to see you!

We're offering prizes for everyone who completes a set number of challenges in this year's event. To join, you'll want to stop by the Library to grab your challenge sheet from the Teen Lounge, or download the Beanstack app to sign up for our challenges. The Beanstack app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

Last but not least, the Middlesex Middle School Reading Ambassadors have selected 19 books you may want to pick up. A huge thank you to the 6th and 7th grade Reading Ambassadors for sharing their favorite books for Summer Reading 2024!
