Summer of Adventure 2022 Coming Soon!

The Denver Public Library's Summer of Adventure program encourages youth from birth to 12th grade to READ, MAKE, and EXPLORE. We will provide youth with opportunities for informal learning and activities to help them retain academic and social skills throughout their summer vacation. Youth can register for the program online starting Friday, June 3. Youth can download an Adventure Guide (or create their own) to record their activities and work their way to a finishing prize.

Best of all, it's FREE! More information coming soon!

Maker Challenge Opening Soon

Starting soon: make something and share it for a chance to win a prize!
