If your child signs up for the Edison Public Library’s Summer Reading Program and logs their books in a free Beanstack account, they’ll earn the chance to win prizes — just for reading!
Edison librarians want everyone to get excited about books, from the littlest listeners to seasoned readers. The 2025 Summer Reading Program (SRP) runs from June 29 through August 31, with incentives, events, and rewards for children, teens, and adults at all three library branches. This year’s theme? “Color Our World.”
