The Sparta Public Library will host a Summer Reading Kick-off Party at noon Tuesday, June 27.
The event on the library lawn will include glitter tattoos, over-sized outdoor games, popcorn and hot dogs.
The program is only open to Beanstack Summer Reading participants. To participate, go online to https://spartalibrarynj.beanstack.com/reader365
Children, teens and adults who log the minutes they spend reading from Monday, June 26 through Saturday, Aug. 19, will earn badges for tokens that may be redeemed for a prize at the end of the program. The goal is 1,000 minutes, or about 20 minutes a day.
Participants may log the minutes they spend reading print books (chapter books, picture books, graphic novels, etc.), magazines, e-books and e-zines, newspapers, online articles, or listening to audio and e-audio books.
