Every year we make changes and improvements to Summer Break.
The feedback we receive from participants and staff is always vital as the program evolves.
There are several options for submitting comments and suggestions:
Participants can use the feedback form through the "Contact Us" link on the Beanstack website
OR “Contact the Library” on the challenge overview page.
Staff can email Kristi Atkins, Whitney Lebron and Jenna Marotta directly to make suggestions on how to improve the program or ask questions regarding how the program works.
OR Participate as a Summer Break Branch Lead or join the Summer Break Team! These are great ways to make suggestions and help to improve the program.
