As Webster Parish Libraries’ Discovery Camp 2024 draws to a close, the staff is thrilled to reflect on the extraordinary journey of reading and discovery campers embarked upon this summer. With the deadline of July 6 fast approaching, they urge all participants to ensure their reading achievements are logged either on Beanstack or their paper logs to be eligible for recognition.

This summer has been an overwhelming success.

“It’s been an unforgettable summer here at Webster Parish Libraries” Cassidy Duck, the Youth Services Coordinator, said. “The energy and dedication shown by our campers have been truly inspiring.”

For those aiming to attend the Completion Party, logging a minimum of 10 books is the ticket to join in the festivities. These readers will be honored for their commitment to exploring new worlds through books with a certificate. Additionally, those who have read an impressive 50 books or more will receive a special accolade—a medal presented by the iconic Smokey the Bear himself.
