Dunkerton Public Library has found the cheat code for endless fun this summer with an awesome theme:
Level Up At Your Library!
Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up at Your Library is an all-ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games. Whether you’re playing with STEM concepts or gamifying reading logs, learning to play chess or how to code video games, iREAD© 2025: Level Up at Your Library reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they are a space for fun! The summer reading program is valuable to everybody! It’s very beneficial for young minds to absorb new words and vocabulary. For older children, it stops the summer slide of all they’ve learned and makes transitioning into the new school year easier. For adults, reading is fantastic for the mind and is a healthy way to relax. The summer reading program will run from June 1st through July 31st. The children/teen program includes toddlers through finishing 12th grade, and we will have an adult program for anyone who is 18+.
