This class will focus on earth and environmental stewardship as we learn about the different types of soil in Florida and test soil samples (bring your own soil sample if you'd like, or use one provided). We'll also be creating butterfly habitats to take home.

🌎✈️🚙📚 Our Summer Library Challenge starts today!

Book Your Journey — this year's challenge is all about exploring new places and ideas. Much like books, travel has a way of opening minds, sparking curiosity, and connecting us to places very different from the ones we've always known. Reading lets us experience that same sense of discovery from wherever we are.

Here's how it works:
• Set a daily reading goal that works for you
• Earn a badge for every 10 days you reach your goal
• Go explore — complete fun, travel-inspired activities to collect additional badges
• Earn incentives throughout the summer, and turn in your badges for a chance to win even BIGGER prizes at the end of the challenge

The challenge runs from June 1st - July 31st and is open to all ages. You can register now at nprlibrary.beanstack.org or by downloading the Beanstack app.
