This is not a drill! Summer session is ending soon. We have just two more weeks of prizes before we wrap up our summer reading program and move onto the fall season. Minutes must be submitted before August 31, and prizes must be picked up before September 1. Also, the week eight prize is this year’s summer reading iron on patch. It is an exclusive Malden Public Library design and the most fashionable accessory of the year.
Still need to sign up? You can backdate all your minutes for the summer and collect prizes now before we run out. (We have supplemental prizes for the weeks that have run out, so don’t worry.) To add to our minutes and help us reach our goal of 600,000 hours read as a community, log in or set up your Beanstack account. It is the Beanstack Tracker app on mobile — or use bit.ly/BeanstackMPL to get to the website.
Our summer reading program, our events and our prizes wouldn’t be possible without this year’s community sponsors. These are the individuals and businesses that give back to the community and support the many city initiatives we know and love. Below is a list of people and businesses who helped us this summer; please feel free to offer them your support in return.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, stopped by for a program, a book, a chat. Happy end of summer. See you all in the fall!
