Summer Reading Challenge
Our annual Summer Reading Challenge begins on July 2nd until August 16th, 2024! The reading challenge encourages children to read during the summer independently. There will be games and prizes. Kids receive a bingo card and a reading path which is completed with each book they read. This program is free. Registration is open with a valid library card. Children who are 8 years old can get their own library card at registration and will receive a special prize with it. This program is for children ages 4-14 years old. Read at your own level. All literary formats are acceptable: books, magazines, BCD, book packs, wonder books, Playaway’s, Press reader and the Cloud library. Join us today for a fun summer of reading!
