Looking for FREE summer fun? Check out all of the classes, events and reading challenges offered by the Orange County Library System.

  • Summer Reading Program: Register for the Summer Reading Challenges on Beanstack, log minutes and earn prizes! Here's an article I wrote about Beanstack with more info.
  • Summer Events: There are many events offered at all branches, including the ones in Winter Garden, Windermere and Ocoee.  Some require registration, so be sure to have your library account info ready. One of my family's favorite events is Sphere's Bubble Show. We first saw this show two summers ago and have seen him perform at Icon Park as well. It is sure to be a show your child(ren) will love. There are also events with animals, performers, singers, magicians - so much variety! It is a great way to expose your child to the arts and practice audience etiquette in a kid-friendly environment.
  • Summer Classes: You and your family can learn new crafts, new computer programs - you can search by library branch and filter by topic. And they are all FREE!

Do you have an event you're looking forward to?
