X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Get ready to dig in! This year&rsquo\;s su
 mmer reading program\, <em>Plant a Seed\, Read</em>\, is inspired by the f
 arm-to-table movement. This year&rsquo\;s theme celebrates how things grow
 . Farms grow food that fuels our bodies. Libraries grow ideas that feed ou
 r minds. Both connect us to family\, culture\, community\, and the world a
 round us. When you plant a seed or open a book\, you nurture something ama
 zing.</p>\n<p>All summer long\, we&rsquo\;ll be cultivating fun with live 
 performers\, hands-on fairy garden creations\, visits from real (and prete
 nd!) farm animals\, and plenty of surprises still waiting to sprout. But t
 hat&rsquo\;s just the beginning.</p>\n<p>Sign up and start earning rewards
  for reading (or listening!) to books\, audiobooks\, and magazines&mdash\;
 it all counts. Track your progress at myAPL.beanstack.org\, in the Beansta
 ck app\, or with a printed reading log available at any library location.<
 /p>\n<p>Log in to Beanstack daily to record your reading and keep your str
 eak growing! You can enter minutes\, books\, or pages. &nbsp\;Strive to me
 et the challenge's goal\, flex your brain\, and push to do just a bit more
 .</p>\n<p>The goal for Adults (18+) is to read three books\, and the goal 
 for Read to Me (0-5) is 20 books.</p>\n<p>Something new for this year is t
 hat Kids (6-11) and Teens (12-18) are challenged to read 30 days of the su
 mmer. Experts recommend 15-20 minutes of sustained reading per day. You wi
