CEDAR RAPIDS — Dare to read. Dare to explore. Dare to learn.

The Cedar Rapids Public Library dares you to do it all with the Summer Dare, the library’s all-ages summer reading program.

The Summer Dare is for everyone. It is a change to engage with the community, embrace lifelong learning and have fun this summer with the library.

Register for the Summer Dare at CRLibrary.org/summer-dare and stop in to the library beginning June 3, for a free library bag.

Complete five squares in a row on a game card — up and down, sideways or diagonal — to complete the Summer Dare challenge. Bring the game card to the library and earn a free book when the challenge is complete.

The library also is hosting programs for all ages this summer. There will be big summer performances at the downtown library, 450 5th Ave SE, and Ladd library, 3750 Williams Blvd SW.

The library’s mobile technology lab will visit six different parks each week, bringing technology, games, books and story time to a neighborhood near you.

Visit the library’s events calendar at events.crlibrary.org/events to learn more.

The Summer Dare kicks off June 3 and runs through July 29. Join us — if you dare!
