The Summer Reading Challenge, “Color Our World”, is coming up! The Challenge will run for eight weeks during the summer and all are welcome to join in— kids, teens and adults.
Last year, we had 38,340 books read by 921 kids, 178 adults and 100 teens— can you help us set a new record this summer?
Millburn Library’s 2025 Summer Reading Challenge Color our World is open to kids, teens and adults. Earn raffle tickets for logging the books you read this summer, and put them into weekly drawings to have a chance at our weekly prizes! The Challenge is run via the Beanstack app.
The Summer Reading Challenge is generously supported by the Friends of the Millburn Library.
Log all your books right on the app, no need to drop off logs at the Library. And spend those raffle tickets!

Can’t make it into the Library? Don’t worry— with your Millburn Library card you have a free subscription to our Libby eBook & audiobook collection! Check out the latest bestsellers, graphic novels, magazines, and eBooks in every genre! (And make sure to place Holds on your next reads so they’re ready when you are!)
Browse and place holds on books right on your phone! You can even scan the ISBN of a book you find anywhere to find a free copy in the library system instead to read. Download the BCCLS Libraries app from Apple or Google Play app store and sign in with your library barcode number.
No problem— head on over to NoveList, the best way to find great new reads. Try the Appeal search engine, where you can find books by things like writing-style, tone, and characters. Maybe the classic Theme (genre) browser is best for you, which has great lists of books by sub-genre. Or just look up your favorites and check out the read-alike lists, which suggest books that are similar.
In addition to our Libby app, you can also download the Hoopla app, which provides not just audiobooks & eBooks, but also graphic novels & comics, including ones for young readers. Best of all, with Hoopla there’s no wait— check out up to 15 items per month and get instant access to them.
