When you sign up for the library’s Summer Reading Challenge, you will track your progress through challenge cards for a chance to earn some great prizes.

Bethlehem Walks!
As a companion to our Summer Reading Challenge, we are inviting the community to join us in a collective physical challenge: Bethlehem Walks! Use this form to submit your walking data to us, and we’ll compile it to show how far we’ve walked together as a town and include some fun information about the places we’ve “visited.” Include minutes walked, distance walked, or steps taken, as well as elevation changes (if you have it). Submit as often as you like. Adventure starts in Bethlehem! See where we have walked so far.
