45 Days of Reading and Counting! – A Summer Milestone at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library

July 22, 2025

We’ve officially hit 45 days of Summer Reading, and the momentum is still going strong at the library! Since the kickoff of our Summer Reading Program, thousands of readers have been diving into books, discovering new stories, and building powerful reading habits — one page at a time, one day at a time!

This milestone isn’t just about the days on the calendar — it’s about the dedication, excitement, and imagination our community has poured into every story shared and every chapter read.

 

Experience Drawings

Remember that children and teens (age 5 to 18) who read for 45 days will be entered into special experience drawings.  To be eligible, the 45 days of reading must be logged in Beanstack and the Beanstack account needs to have either a CMS ONE Access or your Charlotte Mecklenburg Library card number entered and a valid email address. Winners will be notified by email.

With just a few weeks left in the program, there’s still plenty of time to keep reading, logging, and celebrating!

 

Still Time to Join!
