The Germantown Community Library kicks off its 2022 summer reading challenge, sponsored by North Shore Bank, with a party this Saturday, June 11. Kids up to age 12 are invited to get ready to read and enjoy camp-themed activities, snacks, balloons and glitter tattoos from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the library.

Registration is not required for the “Read Beyond the Beaten Path” challenge, which is open to kids and adults of all ages. Prizes and rewards are given as participants reach reading goals based on their age level, and a grand prize raffle winner will be announced when the challenge ends on Saturday, August 13, and there will be a summer finale concert featuring the Germantown High Warhawk marching band, followed by activities and refreshments, on Saturday, August 20.

“I’m excited for this kickoff party,” said AVP and Germantown community engagement manager Erica Hughes. “And I’m really excited to help inspire kids and adults in the Germantown area to enjoy some great books this summer.”
