Summer Adventure! We are excited to introduce Pikes Peak Library District’s NEW Summer Adventure! We designed a summer program that engages participants with activities that promote lifelong learning and combat summer reading loss, using Beanstack, an online program that awards virtual badges for completing challenges. What’s different about PPLD’s Summer Adventure- Build A Better World for Ages 0 - 11? - Users create an online account to complete activities within the following challenges: Make Tech, Read, Play, Listen, Write, and Explore.
- After earning a badge for each challenge, they can display their name on our "Builders' Wall” at any PPLD library.
- The Junior Builder, who has three online badges, receives a free tattoo from the library.
- The Expert Builder, who has all seven badges, receives a free book!
- The Master Engineer, who completes all 70 challenge activities for our bonus game will receive a Master Engineer button.
- This allows children to track their own progress digitally, if they want, and provides tailored book and app recommendations, along with information about free library events.
- It also offers ways for caregivers to manage all of their children’s accounts at once.
In addition, we have a new program for teens (12 - 18), who will choose challenges that meet their interests, from “Reading Outside the Box,” “Exploring the Outdoors,” “Learning to Code,” and more! Complete one challenge to get a book or journal, complete a second challenge to finish the program and get a Summer Adventure shirt and be entered to win the grand prize!” The adventure begins June 1 when challenges will be revealed!
