This year, Summer Reading invites you to explore the vibrant and multifaceted world around you through the power of reading.

It’s free, and we have versions for all ages. Get your Summer Reading trackers below or at your library, then take on reading and activity challenges all summer long to earn rewards and be entered into a drawing for bigger prizes. Complete your reading and activities to earn rewards.

Summer Reading ended August 2.

We look forward to reading with you next summer!
