can avoid the summer brain drain by taking part in the Volusia County Public Libraryâs summer reading challenge, programs and activities. The adventure begins June 7 at all 14 branches of the library system.
From June 7 through Aug. 13, kids can track their summer reading online with the digital platform Beanstack. Those who read at least four days a week over the summer will earn prizes from the library and be able to record their reading for their local school goals.
