For Kids Aged 5-11: Dyer Library’s 2026 Summer Read and Bead Challenge! We wanted to find a creative way to celebrate every page turned, so we’re turning reading time into a wearable work of art. As you log your minutes - whether you’re reading solo, listening to an audiobook, or sharing a story together - you’ll earn a variety of colorful, metallic, and glow-in-the-dark beads to build a custom necklace that grows along with your reading list.
