Signal Hill Public Library launches summer reading program, releases June events

The Signal Hill Public Library has launched its Summer Reading Program, which will run from June 18 to Aug. 20. 

Similar to the Long Beach Public Library’s summer reading program, children and adults are encouraged to “read beyond the beaten path” this summer.

Residents are invited to keep track of the minutes they spend reading and log them on the Beanstalk app to rack up badges and rewards that can be picked up at the Signal Hill Public Library. 

Prizes vary by age group and include things like free meals from Black Bear Diner or a free day of mini-golf at Golf N’ Stuff in Norwalk. 

In addition to the ongoing summer reading program, the library will host a number of events in the coming months. 

The events include:

• Monday, June 20: Family Bingo from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Library Community Room
