Summer Reading Programs & Events

Summer Reading Programs for All Ages are here! The theme for 2024 is Adventure Begins at Your Library.

Beginning June 24, 2024, you can sign up for our children's, teen, and adult reading programs. Read books for chances to win prizes!

Baby & Toddler Summer Reading Challenge

Ages 0-3, June 24 - August 17, 2024

Early Literacy Challenge: Cross off a circle on the paper log for each day that you engage in one or more early literacy activities with your child. You can only cross off one circle per day, even if you do multiple activities in one day. Early literacy activities strengthen the skills your child will use when they eventually begin reading on their own and include reading, singing, talking, writing/drawing, and playing with your child. Please see the handout attached to the Baby/Toddler paper log fo rmore information and examples. Each circle you cross off earns your child a sticker that can be collceted the next time you top into the Library. Once you've filled in all of the circles the reading challenge is complete and your child will earn a Grand Prize raffle ticket and a free book to keep! See how to earn additional Grand Prize tickets below.

If you complete the paper log early, you may get another log and continue to earn raffle tickets and stickers!

Weekly Raffle: Every time you stop in the Library to collect stickers, you'll receive a Weekly Raffle ticket. You'll earn a second Weekly Raffle ticket for checking books out. Each participant may only receive TWO Weekly Raffle tickets per day, for a total of 12 tickets per week. Every Monday we will pull 1 Weekly Raffle winner from the previous week's tickets. Weekly Raffle tickets will then be added to the Grand Prize Raffle, which will be drawn at the end of the summer!
