Summer Reading Program 2025: Color Our World
All ages are invited to join us for 8 weeks of fun!
This year’s theme is ART.
The Summer Reading Program is always FREE.
You just need your library card (and those are free too).
Sign up starts May 29th, and the program runs from June 5th—July 31st.
Reading Challenge Rules
From June 5—July 31, read to earn “level” prizes at 180, 420, & 900 minutes.
For every 30 minutes you read, you also earn 1 ticket for big prize drawings. The big prize packs are on display. Put tickets in the jars next to the prize packs you want to win. You can claim level prizes and tickets as often as you want- just don’t wait until the last minute. All prizes and tickets must be claimed
before our big prize drawing on August 1st.
We ask that any book you read for the program be checked out from the library.
Checking out library items boosts our statistics, which directly affects our funding. Thanks!
ALL kinds of library books can count: Books on CD, downloadable eBooks and audiobooks, and Wonderbooks.
Books that kids and parents read together count for both of you!
If you’re reading on your own, please read books at or above your level.
Free Activities for All Ages
Whether you are participating in our reading challenge or not, you’re invited to all of our summer activities!
Those are listed briefly below, in two categories; kids and teen & adult activities. For more event details, see our events on Facebook or visit our calendar.
Because some events take place with messy art supplies, you may wish to wear old clothes, a smock, or apron.
ALL SUMMER LONG:
- Vote in the Countywide Photography Contest for your favorite pictures. The winner receives $50.
- Visit our outdoor Little Free Art Gallery! Take some art, leave art, or just admire the masterpieces inside.
- Bring the kids to our new art-themed play area. You’ll love the colorful and squishable floor panels,
ball pool, Montessori activity board, color matching games, and art opportunities.
