The Lompoc Public Library System invites community members to read what they like, renew their books, bodies, and minds, and repeat often by participating in the Summer Reading Challenge: Read, Renew, Repeat.

Read, Renew, Repeat started on June 1, and during June and July, the library will host a range of free activities for children, teens and adults to encourage and support a love of reading.

Participants can earn prizes for participation all summer long, including a free book at sign-up, redeemable at the Lompoc or Village libraries.

Summer Reading Challenge registration can be completed using the Beanstack tracker mobile app or at cityoflompoc.beanstack.org.

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

All participants will have a chance to earn weekly prizes throughout the challenge. Those who complete the challenge by reading 600 minutes or more by July 31 will be entered into a grand prize drawing for their age group.

Adults will be eligible to win an iPad, teens a Stanley cup with some extra goodies, children a Kindle Fire 7, and early learners a Magicube Word Building Set.

Also back this year is Lunch at the Library, with healthy meals provided for children and teens at the library through a partnership with Lompoc Unified School District.

Meals will be available on the youth patio, 1-2 p.m. Monday-Friday, June 17-July 31, with free activities provided as well.

“The Summer Reading Challenge is our favorite time of year,” said Lompoc Library Director Sarah Bley. “Please join us this year to Read, Renew, Repeat, and help us reach our community goal of reading for 100,000 minutes.

“For a listing of our activities for all ages, visit the library web page, or stop by one of the libraries for a print copy.”

The Summer Reading Challenge offers a full schedule of summer activities for all ages, including family story times, craft programs, and game nights. The Village Library will also have a variety of activities.
