Catch the Reading Bug: Summer Reading Program
Registration begins June 9. You may register any time between June 9 and July 31.
It's time for our annual summer reading extravaganza. From babies to toddlers, from elementary age to kids who are finishing 6th grade, we have programs and prizes for all. When you register for our program, you will recieve a reading log which you will use to track the time you spend reading. You can also count the time that someone reads to you, or that you read to someone else. Bring this log in for us to see throughout the summer and you can win up to 6 special prizes. You do not have to bring your reading log on any specific day or time. Going on vacation or to camp? You won't miss any prizes. If you fill your reading log, you will be entered in our grand prize drawing and you can keep reading to earn more chances to win!
There are so many things to do this summer, we can hardly fit them all on this page. Take a glance through the list below and find something that interests you.
