Summer Reading Programs 2023

It’s time for summer reading!

Join us for our summer reading program May 23 - August 1. This year we'll have two reading programs - one for kids and one for teens/adults - with a theme of "Find Your Voice!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summer Reading for Kids (Birth-Sixth Grade)

1) READING LOGS: Complete a reading log to track your minutes read and earn beads for your brag tag! Finish your whole log and earn a FREE BOOK.

There are 2 different logs, according to the child's age:

  • Birth-First Grade Log: Mark off a square for every 15 minutes spent reading with your child. For every 30 minutes they read, the child will earn a specific color bead for their brag tag. After 5 hours of reading, the child will receive a free book.

  • Second-Sixth Grade Log: Student will mark off a square for every 30 minutes they read. For every hour they read, the child will earn a specific color bead for their brag tag. After 10 hours of reading, the child will receive a free book.

If a child has completed one log and wants to do another, we can give them a repeat log. They’ll be able to earn more beads for their tag. However, participants may only receive one free book.

2) BADGE BOOKS: Every participant (birth-6th grade) will also receive a badge book. The badge book will feature specific “bonus challenges” that the child can complete to earn stickers for their book. If they complete all of the challenges, they will get a star to put on the wall.

3) COMMUNITY PRIZES: Help us "unlock" a prize for everyone!

  • Download the "Reader Zone" app or log in on the web. Use the code 055ba.

  • Enter the total number of minutes your child read.

  • If all the kids read a certain number of minutes in total, they will unlock special community prizes:

    • 50,000 Minutes: KEVA Planks
    • 100,000 Minutes: Popsicle Party
