The Carrabassett Valley Public Library is launching its summer reading program.

The first 20 participants can pick up an Adventure Begins at Your Library backpack with enclosed reading log, stickers, bookmarks and a Backyard Scavenger Hunt card. Participants choose a pile of library books to borrow and bring them home in their new backpack.

Participants also will get to choose two free books to keep from a limited collection of Scholastic books.

Passive programming allows children and families the opportunity to stop by the air-conditioned library anytime during open hours to do the activity of the week, or bring the idea/activity home for another time. Activities will also be posted on the Carrabassett Valley Public Library Facebook page.

Summer hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Weekly activities are as follows:

July 10-13 — DIY Scavenger Hunt;

July 17-20— Micro Adventure;

July 24-27; Stick Tac Toe; and

July 31 to Aug. 3 — Camping Bingo.
