Color Our World with Sneaks

Summer @ Your Library 2025

This annual initiative promotes connection and learning by encouraging everyone to read or get active during summer. From June 1-August 31, kids, teens and adults can play games and attend events to win fabulous prizes along the way.

New this year is the Choose Your Own Adventure for teens. Read or do activities to earn points and win prizes. One lucky winner will win a Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle.

Kids can participate in the Summer Quest and help our friend, Sneaks, travel down the trail to complete their artistic masterpiece.

Adults can partake in the Wild Card Bingo challenge and get entered into a chance to win four (4) airline tickets courtesy of Southwest Airlines just by using their library.

Join AACPL to Color Our World and spend Summer @ Your Library!
