Summer Reading Club

This Year's Adventure is...

...READING BY DESIGN . 

Summer is for Reading and Fun.



The Summer Reading Program is free, and everyone is invited to participate. Each year the library offers reading adventures and a special series of programs, prizes and crafts that encourages people of all ages to enjoy books over the summer and helps children to keep and increase their reading skill.

Children who participate have fun, discover wonderful stories and fascinating facts, and start the new school year ready for success! 

All members of the family can read and log their progress to help reach our community reading goal.

How the Summer Reading Program Works

It's a relaxed program that works for everybody. 

Track Your Reading


All members of the family can participate – we have reading and activity logs for wee readers (ages 0-5), children (ages 6-12), teens (ages 13-17), and adults (ages 18 and up).

Pick up a reading log at any branch library starting in June; the program continues until mid-August.

Craft Programs


are featured at most library branches as part of the Summer Reading Program. Check the library calendar for these, and for other special events.

Prizes for Children 


Every child who completes a reading log may claim a small prize at any branch library at any time during the summer.
