          THE END OF ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR, BROUGHT MORE THAN 500 KIDS, TEENS AND ADULTS TO GRAND PRAIRIE'S MAIN LIBRARY TO JOIN THE STAFF THERE AND TAKE A TRIP BACK IN TIME FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE 2026 SUMMER READING CLUB. 
          OUR THEME THIS YEAR IS READING IS TOTALLY RAD, AND WE ARE THROWING IT BACK TO THE EIGHTIES. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THE GRAND PRAIRIE LIBRARIES HAVE GONE BACK TO THE FUTURE KICKING OFF THEIR SUMMER READING CLUB BY BRINGING THE 1980S BACK TO LIFE WITH EVERYTHING FROM THE HIT MUSIC TO THE FASHION AND STYLE AND POP CULTURE ITEMS TO THE ICONIC MOVIE AND TV CHARACTERS. 
          MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE FUTURE, A 21ST CENTURY APP CALLED BET STACK THAT MAKES SIGNING UP AND KEEPING TRACK OF SUMMER READING AS EASY AS PICKING UP A PHONE. 
          WHAT YOU DO IS YOU GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN ACCOUNT WITH GRAND PRAIRIE PUBLIC LIBRARY. 
          ONCE YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT, YOU GO IN AND YOU SELECT YOUR CHALLENGE, JOIN IT, AND FROM THERE GO AHEAD AND LOG YOUR READING. 
          ONCE YOU'VE GOTTEN FIVE HOURS OF READING LOGS, KIDS CAN COME IN AND GET A REWARD SO THEY CAN GET A FREE BOOK, A PRIZE FROM OUR TREASURE BOX OR A COUPON. 
          THERE'S ALSO REWARDS AND PRIZES FOR TEENS AND ADULTS, ALL OF IT TO KEEP EVERYONE ENGAGED AND EXCITED ABOUT READING AND TO ENJOY THE MANY PROGRAMS AND EVENTS BEING OFFERED AT THE LIBRARIES ALL SUMMER LONG. 
          WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT KIDS ARE NOT ONLY GETTING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES DURING THE SUMMER, BUT WE ALSO WANT THEM TO HAVE LIKE THOSE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND WE WANT TO CREATE THESE FREE, BEAUTIFUL, JOYOUS MOMENTS WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN JUST COME TOGETHER AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. 
          THE SUMMER READING CLUB IS UNDERWAY AT ALL THREE GRAND PRAIRIE LIBRARY LOCATIONS THROUGH AUGUST 8TH. 
          FOR EVERYTHING SRC, YOU CAN VISIT GPTX.ORG/LIBRARY. 
          SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM, DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM I'LL FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES.
