The Lompoc Public Library System invites the community to participate in Level Up at Your Library, an all-ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games that starts June. 1.

During June and July, the library will host free activities for children, teens and adults to encourage and support a love of reading.

Participants can earn raffle tickets for prizes for participation all summer long. Registrants can also earn a free book at sign up, redeemable at the Lompoc or Village libraries.

Registration for the Summer Reading Challenge starts Tuesday, May 27; sign-up using the Beanstack tracker mobile app or at cityoflompoc.beanstack.org.

Those without internet connection may call the Lompoc Library or come into the Lompoc or Village libraries to register and log their participation.

All participants will have the opportunity to earn raffle tickets for hours read throughout the summer.

Those who complete the challenge by reading 600 minutes or more by Aug. 1 will be entered into a grand prize drawing for their age group (adult, teen, child, or early learner). Adults will have the opportunity to win an iPad, and youth one of three Amazon Kindle tablets.

Also on the program is Lunch at the Library, with meals provided for children and teens at the library through a partnership with Lompoc Unified School District.

Meals are available on the youth patio, 1-1:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, June 16 through Aug. 1. Along with healthy meals, there will be free activities provided most days at 2 p.m.
