Welcome to the 2024 Summer Library Pursuit

All ages are invited to join the Centre County Library and Historical Museum in our pursuit of adventure at the library this summer! Take this chance to learn something new, try an activity you’ve never experienced, or just enjoy the library in these bright summer months. Registration will begin on June 3rd.

Start Your Reading and Learning adventure!

Track your reading and activities throughout the summer using the Readerzone app and/or our new library passports! Each week you will check off activities as you go and write in your reading minutes for each day. Then, you come into the library and get your completed activities and minutes stamped to earn tickets for weekly prizes. Your fully stamped passport can even act as keepsake at the end of your library adventure.

Attend Special Summer Events

Special events will happen at the Bellefonte, Centre Hall, and Philipsburg library locations throughout the summer. Click the button below to see full events lists for each location:

Try New Things

Enjoy activities and experience kits curated by your Centre County Library and Historical Museum librarians. This year, activities will include weekly take-and-make kits, book and movie experience kits, and weekly themed adventures.

Win Prizes

Earn a raffle ticket for every 15 minutes you read and every activity you complete. Once you have earned a ticket for an activity, you cannot earn another ticket for that activity. Spend these tickets at your local branch to win weekly prizes.

Every ticket entered will be included in our grand prize drawing at the end of the Summer Library Pursuit. Each of our library branches will award a grand prize.
