Summer Reading Program

ROAR INTO READING!

Bee Cave Public Library brings you a summer full of free and fun events, with a dino twist!

We’ll have an all-ages program every Saturday in June and July (excluding July 4th). Spend your Saturdays at a foam party on the lawn, meeting reptiles, petting monkeys, making crafts, dancing to music, and so much more! We’ll also have age-specific events during the week for kids, adults, teens, and even babies! It's guaranteed to be a t-rexcellent time!

Check out our calendar for more Summer Reading events.

CHILDREN'S READING PROGRAM

Sign up for Summer Reading 2026 and start reading!
Help the library reach our goal of 300,000 minutes read this summer! There are two options to track your reading.

1. READING LOG
Pick up a reading log from the library. Log your minutes. Turn in your log when you come to the library and we'll keep track of your total minutes.

2. BEANSTACK APP
Sign up online for Beanstack. Register an individual or a family and use Beanstack to log your minutes.

Once you've read 250 minutes, pick up your prize book at the library. We'll take your picture and make a poster of you that will hang in the library this summer. Or if you want, you can take a picture anywhere and send it to us at [email protected]. Pick up your copy during library hours.

Each 500 minutes you read earns you a chance to win a prize.

The more you read, the more chances to win!

TEEN AND ADULT READING PROGRAM

Adults and teens 12 and older can sign up on Beanstack to be eligible for prizes. For each book you read and log, you will earn a badge. Each badge earns a virtual ticket you can enter into the drawing of your choice on Beanstack. Prizes include gift cards to restaurants, stores, and more.

The more you read, the more chances to win!

 

   A list of prize winners will be available here on July 31. Good luck, readers!
