Summer Reading for Kids
Participate in Summer Reading, 2024! Read, Renew, Repeat
Children who sign up for the program receive a free book to take home and keep. Kids can earn up to four additional prizes for reading at home during the summer. The library also offers a variety of free, fun, and educational activities for children and families during the summer months. After completing the summer reading challenge, youth will get a summer reading tee shirt.
Children who read regularly during the summer months are more likely to maintain their reading skills while not in school. Participating in a summer reading program can help prevent learning loss, and strengthen reading skills.
