This program is designed for kids age 0 to 11 to encourage life-long reading habits. Once you've read for 1000 minutes you'll receive a completion prize at the Library!

Basic Details:

The Summer Reading Program runs from June 4-July 16. To finish the program, read 1000 minutes...that's just 24 minutes a day! A reader can always backdate their reading, as long as it did not occur before June 4.

 Log your minutes daily or weekly on this website or on the ReadSquared app.

What Counts as Reading?: 

Anything can count as reading! You can read by yourself, read to someone else, or have someone read to you. You can read books, ebooks, magazines, or listen to audiobooks. If you attend any of the Storytime programs at the Library, that can count as minutes for the children and the adults! 

Basic Details:
