2025 Children’s Summer Reading Program

 

STARTING JUNE 21

The Reading Program

Children ages 3-11 can sign up for our Summer Reading Program by registering in the children’s department.

Complete weekly reading logs to earn free prizes. Your reading logs will also fuel an exciting hot air balloon race around the world!

We have lots of fun programs and activities planned around this year’s theme of Color Our World.


The Reading Logs

This year we want you to set a daily reading goal for yourself. Maybe it’s one book a day, maybe it’s 20 minutes of reading, maybe it’s an hour of reading every day! Set a goal that is right for you.

Color in a book on your log for every day you meet your goal. When they are all colored in, it’s time to visit the library! Pick an item out of our treasure chest, and pick up a new card. One prize per week please. 


The Race

Participants will be randomly divided into three teams this year, and each team will have a color bucket to fill! Every week you turn in a log, you will be able to add a pom pom to your team’s bucket.

Winners get bragging rights.


Important Dates

Registration begins Saturday, June 21.

First prizes will be distributed beginning June 28. 

Reading logs may be submitted for treasure chest prizes until Friday, August 15.
