A rectangular image with a busy scene of animals playing on a beach with sandcastles, sunbathers, surfers, and more. Purple block text: "Level up At Your Library: iREAD | ireadprogram.org" A nonspecific purple fuzzy mascot wearing an orange shirt with blue flowers gestures toward the text with one clawed paw.
