Registration for Summer Reading opens June 1. Stay tuned!
Summer Reading is an annual program for all ages at Farmington Community Library that encourages our community to connect through a love of reading and stories. Complete the community reading goal, accomplish special missions, and collect points for a chance to win grand prizes! Summer Reading is a free program and you do not need a library card to participate.
This year, we are not just celebrating the stories we read, we are celebrating the power of sharing our own stories. Throughout the Summer Reading program, we will be sharing and collecting stories from community members of all ages with our Tell Your Story community project!
How do I participate?
Create an Online Summer Reading Account
Your Summer Reading account is where you will log your reading goal progress, mark your completed missions, and spend your points on raffle tickets for grand prizes. Once you have signed up, visit either FCL location to collect your sign-up prize, a free book! Need help signing up? Stop by the Information Desk at the Library and we will help get you started.
Read or Listen for 10 Hours
Our community reading goal for all ages is 10 hours! We have paper reading logs available at the Library that can be used to track the number of hours read. But don’t forget to log your progress online through the Summer Reading account to earn points. Don’t forget, reading eBooks or listening to eAudiobooks using Libby, Hoopla, and other digital FCL resources in our eLibrary counts toward the reading goal. Have a little one? Reading out loud to them counts toward their reading goal!
Complete Missions
Each age group has activity-based missions like “Attend a Library Event” that you can complete to earn more points. Find the full list of missions for each age group on your Summer Reading account.
Log your progress and spend your points by July 28!
Log you completed missions and number of hours read on your Summer Reading account. The more progress logged, the more points you will earn to put toward virtual raffle tickets for grand prizes! July 28th is the last day to log progress and spend points on grand prize raffle tickets!
