Welcome To Summer Library Club (SLC) 2024
This year's theme is "Adventure Begins at Your Library!"
SLC is an 8 week program (June 1 - July 31) for all ages at all KCPL locations. Designed to be a fun activity for the entire family, the goal of the program is to develop and build literacy skills for young readers while establishing a lifetime love of reading and learning for readers of any age.
Once registered, readers log books, attend events, and complete activities to earn goodies and entries toward Grand Prize drawings awarded at the end of the summer.
Beginning June 1, register on Beanstack or with a paper log available at any location. Used Beanstack before? Use your existing account again! Visit any location for one-on-one assistance.
SLC Young Reader Groups

The ages for the Young Reader Groups are as follows:
- Preschool - Birth to 5
