“Adventure Begins at Your Library” is this year’s Summer Reading Club theme at the Washington County Free Library.

Summer Reading Club is a self-paced program for readers of all ages to track their reading and attend library events between June 1 and Aug. 31.

There are four challenges for different age groups: early literacy (ages 0 to 5), children’s (ages 6 to 10), teen (ages 11 to 18), and adult (ages 19 and older).

Earn badges to win prizes or be entered to win raffles, by logging books read. To register, go to www.washcolibrary.org/src and sign up through Beanstack, a platform for tracking summer reading progress. Paper gameboards also are available.

This year, Summer Reading Club programs include a wide variety of free family-friendly programs for all ages across the county:

• Summer Reading Kick-Off Parties

• Australian Adventure with Digeridoo Down Under

• Rock & Rhyme Performances with Mr. Jon & Friends

• Adventure in Fun’s Reptile Shows

• STEAM Adventures with the Science Guys of Baltimore

• Storytelling Performances with Authentic Community Theatre
