This year’s Frederick County Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is A Universe of Stories.  Kids, adolesents, and adults are all encouraged to participate in this summer long event which started May 15th and will end August 31st. Everyone will be able to record the books they read on Beanstack to win some special prizes! You do not require a library card to participate, however, it is recommended since you can get better access to the books.
