Spring into Reading Challenge:

Open to readers of all ages, we challenge you to log as much reading as you can between now and June 4th on the Beanstack app. We will now be awarding two additional prize packages of free entrance and a snack bag at the upcoming drive-in double feature movie night! That's 3 families who will win entrance to this exciting event!
