Library Summer Reading Program: Sponsorship

Scavenger Hunt and Sponsorship Opportunities

There is lots going on at the Louisville Library! Please see information about the Local Business Scavenger Hunt as well as sponsorship options for Summer Reading Program.

The Louisville Public Library is delighted to announce the return of the Local Business Scavenger Hunt for the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge (May 22-July 31)! Over 2100 people visited local businesses in 2025!

Each participating business will receive an 8.5x11 poster with a unique CODE WORD to post in a window or retail area. Summer Reading participants will visit local businesses and enter the CODE WORD in the Library’s Summer Reading Challenge online app to be entered into a raffle to win prizes.

Register your business to join by Thursday, April 30, 2026. REGISTER >> Scavenger Hunt | Louisville Public Library, CO

Last summer, 3,738 participants joined the challenge, and attendance at our end‑of‑summer celebration grew by 25%. Beyond promoting literacy, the program drives real economic activity by bringing families into local businesses, encouraging repeat visits, and strengthening community connections.
Your sponsorship helps make this impact possible.
Your support also helps fuel one of the community’s favorite activities: the Local Business Scavenger Hunt. Last year, families made more than 1,900 visits to participating businesses — each receiving a poster with a unique code word that encourages families to stop in, explore, and engage.
