Beginning Saturday, June 18, play, learn, and explore with the library for a summer full of fun
Welcome to Camp Summer Quest!
Bucks County Free Library is heading to the great outdoors for Summer Quest 2022. Start the adventure beginning June 18th by visiting your local branch to pick up your Summer Quest Passport and camp keychain. Set your own reading goal in your passport, and start reading! Your librarian recommends reading at least twenty minutes a day. Track each day you meet or go over your goal in your passport, and complete the five fun activities inside.
Each time you visit the library this summer, check in at the Summer Quest table. You will get one camp keychain bead to add to your collection for each day you reached your reading goal. Finish your passport by collecting a stamp for each activity you complete. Read through the summer to get an official Certificate of Completion from your library!
Share what you’re reading on social media by tagging #BucksSummerQuest. We’re on Facebook and Instagram.
Make some new animal friends with Eyes of the Wild! They're bringing some of their unique animals to the library on July 14. Come say hello at the Bensalem branch at 3:30 PM, or the Doylestown branch at 7 PM.

Summer reading is for everyone! Teens and adults are invited to grab a summer reading log from any of our seven branches.
-
The logs come in three different themes: adventure and travel, mystery, or beach reads. On the front is an exclusive illustration of that theme, and the back provides space to list your books. If you read three or more books over the summer, show us your log and you'll get a postcard version of the front as a keepsake!
