Summer Reading Program

Our Summer Reading Program is an engaging literacy initiative that runs from June 10th through July 22nd this year. The Summer Reading Program offers themed activities, reading challenges, and hands-on events for all ages.

The theme for this summer is “Unearth a Story!” Whether readers are digging into a good book, uncovering hidden histories, or exploring the past, the slogan underscores the joy of discovery that reading brings. It also emphasizes that every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared—through books, programs, and local knowledge.

Dinosaurs, paleontology, and archaeology are high-interest areas for children and families and offer rich opportunities to spark curiosity, imagination, and learning across all age groups.

When you complete each reading challenge, participate in a library activity, or attend a library program, you can earn an entry into the raffle for a chance to win a grand prize at the Grand Finale on July 22nd!

1. Stop in to the library and grab any of the reading challenges between June 10th and July 22nd. Individuals of all ages can participate in any of the challenges. When you complete a challenge, you can take another of the same challenge or try a different one. You can take more than one type of challenge at a time. When you turn in a completed reading challenge, you win a small prize! The challenges are listed below:
   • “Unearth a Story” bingo cards
