Summer reading at Mashpee Public Library
Welcome to the Mashpee Public Library’s Summer Reading Program! Children can select their own reading materials including books, magazines, graphic novels and audio books. Any kind of reading counts!
This summer we are launching a new Children’s program – Read and Bead! Ready to build your very own custom necklace? Start by registering online at https://mashpeepubliclibrary.beanstack.org or stop by the Library. Upon registering for summer reading, you will receive a free book (while supplies last), a hypoallergenic ball and chain necklace, and a brag tag of your choice to start off. As soon as you’ve read for 15 minutes, you’ve already earned your first bead. The more reading you log, the more beads you earn! We have 4 levels of beads you can earn and you can even trade them in to level up!
