Summer Challenge
June 2 – July 26, 2025
Embark on a journey of creativity this summer!
Children, teens, and adults can all participate in the library’s FREE Summer Challenge at W-TCPL locations, on the Bookmobile, and through Beanstack, our convenient online option.
About the Challenge
All ages can participate in the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library’s free “Color Our World” Summer Challenge! Complete a variety of entertaining and enriching activities to earn points and have the chance to win prizes!
Activities are grouped in four categories: Composer, Director, Illustrator, and Writer. You can choose to “Design a book cover” or “Create a playlist” or “Snap a picture of your favorite book” or “Read for 20 minutes” – or lots more!
Each activity is worth 5 points, and you can explore them all or repeat your favorites!
How To Participate:
Children, teens, and adults all have two options that make it easy to participate in the Summer Challenge: Track your reading and activities on a paper log or online through Beanstack.
