Summer Reading Program

Reading Challenge

Dive into a world of art and creativity in the Color Our World Summer Reading Program. This summer, we challenge you to read as much as you can – the more you read, the more prizes you’ll receive!

 

How it Works

Children:

      • Pick up a summer reading log in the children’s room or on the bookmobile and record the titles or time you read.
      • Turn in your completed log for a prize from the treasure box!

Teens and Adults:

      • Pick up a punch card from the circulation desk or bookmobile and receive one punch for each title you read.
      • When you have read five titles, turn in your punch card to receive one free item from the Friends Bookstore!

Library Camps

Elementary aged children are invited to practice reading skills and enjoy activities like crafts, science experiments, writing projects, and more!

Library Camp activities vary each week and are limited to 16 participants. Pick up your Library Camp pass at the circulation desk 30 minutes prior to the start of your hour-long camp.
