Summer Reading 2024

Summer Reading 2025:

 

 LEVEL UP @ YOUR LIBRARY

 

Kids Summer Reading

For Babies, Kids & Tweens through Grade 6 (entering grade 6 in the Fall)

 

Program Dates:

Monday, June 23, 2025 - Friday, August 8, 2025

 

F.A.Q.

How does the program work?

  • Color in each day you read (or are read to by someone else) on your paper calendar - available to pick up starting June 16.
  • Earn a raffle ticket for each day you read and color in on your calendar. Library staff will check off each day you color in. Visit the Library to receive tickets and spin the wheel for a chance to win more tickets or a prize!
  • Raffle winners will be chosen at the end of the program. 

What counts as reading?

  • You can read: print books, ebooks, magazines, graphic novels, comics, and newspapers.
  • You can listen to audiobooks on CD, eAudiobooks, Wonderbooks, and Playaways.
  • Someone can read to you, you can read to your siblings, your parents, your cousin, your dog, your pet rock - the list is endless!

How much do I have to read to color in a day on my paper calendar?

  • There is no required reading amount. The library just wants to encourage kids to Read Everyday! As long as you have read something that day, you can color in or mark off that day on your calendar.  (Caregivers may create their own reading requirements if they wish!)

What can I use to color in my calendar? 

  • Crayon, marker, hignlighter, stickers, etc. are all fine! Please note that staff cannot check off a day that has not been colored in.

Does everyone win a prize? 

  • No. Each year we have over 500 children participate in Summer Reading, so not everyone will win a raffle prize. However, by visiting the library during the summer and spinning our prize wheel, you have lots of chances to win small prizes, books, and extra raffle tickets!
