Summer Learning Program 2024
Summer Learning Adventure
Jersey City Free Public Library is excited to announce its 2024 Summer Learning Program, “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” which will be held at all Library branches, including our Bookmobile from June 17th to August 9th. This year’s theme,” Adventure Beings at Your Library” celebrates adventure, travel, and trying new things. So, join us for a summer learning adventure at your library!
What is the Summer Learning Program
This summer, the Jersey City Free Public Library is transforming into a hub of adventure and learning for families and friends. With a program designed to cater to all ages, the Library invites the community to embark on a journey of discovery and fun.
The adventure begins with a “passport” that takes participants on a trip around the world, exploring different countries and cultures every week. This immersive experience is not just about reading; it’s about engaging with the world in a hands-on way.
How to sign up
There are two ways to sign up:
- Log in or sign-up on the JCFPL Beanstack

On June 17th, you can begin to log your books and attend the wonderful programs we have at your local branch or department.
Passport Adventures
All library branches will be participating in the Passport Adventure. Each Branch Library will build a new display representing their chosen country weekly, providing activities and information about that week’s country. There will be videos, a book display, pictures, and props to interact with and teach patrons about that country.
Don’t forget to take your passport with you to get it stamped when you visit a branch. You can pick up your passport at your local branch where you register for the program. Passport adventures are for all ages.
Programs and Events
Participants can scan a QR code to stay informed and receive timely reminders, making registration a breeze. Jersey City Free Public Library is more than just a place for books; it’s a community space where learning and enjoyment go hand in hand.
