It’s easy to keep track of all your reading and activities online with Beanstack, but if you'd rather track on paper as you go — or you want something to stick on the fridge — print out a game board or a traditional reading log.

Traditional Reading Log

There are four full-service community branches in Christian County! Visit all library  locations in Clever, Nixa, Ozark and Sparta to complete a special scavenger hunt and earn points toward prize packs. 

Library Scavenger Hunt

There is more to explore all summer long with in-person events. There is something happening every week and for all ages. Attending events earns bonus points, which means a better chance of winning a prize pack! 

Virtual Event Calendar 

We are collecting donations all summer long to help those in need. This year we are partnering with Project Birthday Bag, a non-profit that provides birthday materials to underprivileged children and their parents. Each donation earns points and puts a smile on a child's face. Stop by or call a library branch for more information.
