Livingston Library
Community,
Our 2024 Summer
Programs for children, teens, and adults have officially commenced.
We had so much fun learning and reading this summer with programs for
all ages.
Children in grades 5
and under enjoyed our Youth Summer Learning Challenge,
as we saw our highest participation ever, with 850 children joining
the fun! The children read books and logged over 3.500 hours of
reading. They also completed self, family/friend, community, and
world adventures to earn prizes. New this year was Legend the Llama’s
“Choose Your Own Adventure Wall,” where children voted on where our
mascot should visit next. 4,552 children attended 45 library programs
in July!
Teens in grades 6
and up participated in our Teen Summer Learning Challenge.
They completed challenges, tracked reading, and earned prizes. This
year, teens added their favorite songs of the summer to our Teen
Summer Playlist on Spotify and created memories with our Summer
Snapshots journal program. Our teens turned up this summer, with 225
participating in the challenge and 833 attending 24 programs in
July!
