Summer Reading
Summer Reading encourages participants of all ages to achieve reading goals, explore new ideas, and connect through Library events. This annual program keeps kids and teens learning during the summer and supports their social-emotional development.
Thanks to sponsors like you, young participants earn prize incentives for completing their goals, including a free book. Research shows that access to books at home enhances vocabulary, boosts comprehension, and fosters literacy. In 2026, we had 3,795 participants and 1,885 readers who finished the 10-hour reading goal! In total, we read 63,975 hours together. With your support, we can continue to reach more young readers and making an even greater impact.
