Have you signed up for the summer reading challenge? Patrons of all ages can register for Beanstack at eols. beanstack.org, the platform we use to record how many minutes you read.
We will hand out prizes for each 100 minutes read. You can claim your prizes at the circulation desk at Eufaula Memorial Library. We will also put your name in a drawing for the grand prize. The drawing will be on the last day of July.
