Library summer reading program
Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System (MMRLS) is excited to announce online registration for the 2022 Summer Reading Program started May 16. The Attala County Library held its in-person registration May 12th during our Summer Library Program Kick-Off Party at the coliseum from 5:30-7:30 P.M. Registration will also take place at the library during normal library hours May 13th-June 6th. Library patrons of all ages are invited to sign up for this event.
Customers can register by visiting mmrls.beanstack.org; or downloading the Beanstack app (available on the Apple or Google App Stores), allowing you to easily log and track your reading while earning fun badges/prizes. If you registered using Beanstack previously, you can simply accept the new Summer Reading Challenge on the app to get started!
The Summer Reading Program will begin on different dates depending on your location. Please contact your local library, or follow them on Facebook, for a full schedule of in-person events. There will also be different reading challenges for children, teens, and adults.
Every child or teen under 18 who registers for the summer reading program in-person or online will be eligible to receive a free drawstring backpack at their local branch (while supplies last). The backpacks will feature the new MMRLS mascot, Zim.
“This year's theme will be ‘An Ocean of Possibilities,’ so get ready for some fun focused on our friends from under the sea,” said Lindsay Fitts, Youth Services Coordinator.
For more information about all library services, call or visit your local MMRLS branch library or the library’s website at: midmisslib.com. All library services are made possible thanks to the continued financial support of our local elected officials.
