Looking for fun and engaging ways to keep everyone learning this summer?
The Library District’s Summer Challenge reading and activities program for kids, teens and adults takes place from May 15 to July 31, featuring great prizes from the Vegas Golden Knights, Las Vegas Raiders, Smith Center, Freed’s Bakery, plus free Library District swag and more.
Participants who sign up early from May 1-14, will be entered for a special drawing to win family 4-pack of tickets to NBA 2K Summer League games in July.
The theme for this year’s Summer Challenge invites participants to “Discover the World” through the local libraries.
“As summer approaches, parents and caregivers are looking for fun, meaningful ways to keep kids engaged and learning,” said Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Executive Director Kelvin Watson. “Research shows that over those summer months, children and teens can lose important academic skills, which we call ‘summer slide.’ That’s why Summer Challenge is our biggest event of the year, to motivate kids with great prizes and show them that learning can be fun.
Watson added the program is just as engaging for adults. “Many adults are looking for their next beach read or a way to escape the heat with new hobbies,” he said.
Check out Summer Challenge kickoff events at all 25 branch locations. Activities vary by location and are always free. All attendees can pick up some cool giveaways – and enjoy games and travel-themed crafts, while supplies last.
