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.
What an amazing summer! It's been a pleasure helping Bucks County readers find books, log their reading, and enjoy fun family events at the library. (We did some quick math....425,460 books weigh as much as a space shuttle!)

A special thank you to the teen and adult volunteers who contributed hundreds of hours to Summer Quest. From running the tables with reading logs to helping special events go off without a hitch, library volunteers are essential.

Took my nieces to the Upside Down/Bucks County Free Library Yardley yesterday for some SummerQuest craft time, book selection, and design exploration.
My 12yo niece, an amazing artist, decided she get creative during craft time and make her favorite Stranger Things character - complete with headphones.

Karen *flew* through her adult summer reading challenge! She chose the mystery adult reading log and logged the 3 books needed to get a keepsake version of the log.

Way to go, Karen! 👏

Want your own postcard? Pick up an adult reading log at any of our seven branches. There's a travel/adventure log, a beach reads log, and the mystery log, and each has beautiful custom artwork on the front. After you log 3 or more books this summer, come back in for your postcard!
