Summer Reading Programs

Summer reading time is here! The much-anticipated Summer Reading Programs kick off on May 21, the last day of school (you can sign up that day!), and conclude on August 1 (the last day to log minutes). This year’s iREAD 2025 theme is “Level Up! at Your Library,” an all ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games. Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up! reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they’re a space for fun! There will be child, teen, and adult prizes (even prizes for the community) based on minutes read.

Kids (Birth-Fifth Grade):

1. Use your reading log to track your minutes read and earn beads for your brag tag!
2. Finish your whole log and receive a FREE BOOK, Monicals coupon, and star to put up on the wall in the children’s area.
3. Earn stickers for your badge book full of bonus reading challenges. Complete all the challenges get a water bottle or tote bag.
