Unearth a Story at BML 2026 Summer Reading and Learning program officially begins on Friday, June 26. You can register any day or time after that. First-day registrations will be held in our Friends of BML Learning Center on June 26 from 9am-3pm where you can also shop for a new-to-you book at our Friends' Pop-Up Children's Book Sale. Most items will be just $1 each!

How it Works

Children from birth through pre-school can be registered by a parent or caregiver for a Little Diggers Summer Learning Game containing activities for child and caregiver to complete together.  Each complete bucket or shovel on the gameboard earns a prize. Complete every bucket or shovel and earn a board book!

Students entering grades preK–12 can register for an Unearth a Story Summer Reading and Learning Passport where they can:

• Choose a daily reading goal (20, 30, 45+ minutes) and then mark off a "read" spot on the passport when the goal is met or exceeded.

• Mark off spots for any completed activities selected from the included list.

• Complete the gameboard by August 14.

 

For each completed page of the passport, see the librarian at the Children's Information Desk for a prize and a raffle ticket. Finish the passport to earn a book! 

​

Adults, you can participate, too! For each book read or listened to, stop in to fill out a raffle ticket to win prizes to area restaurants and businesses!
