How to Participate

Preschoolers: earn 100 points to complete the program! 

For the 5 and under crowd, we are challenging our youngest Library members to earn 100 points this summer. We recommend preschoolers log the number of books they read between June 1 and August 31. Take home an Explore Your Community Bag with tickets and coupons for free stuff inside when you reach 50 points and after July 1. Sign up for both the Summer Reading Challenge and 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, and make your reading count double. 

 

School Aged Kids: earn 200 points to complete the program! 

Kids ages 5 to 12, your goal this summer is to earn 200 points by logging your time spent reading, completing activities, and writing reviews. Keep an eye out each week for new activity challenges to earn your points faster. Take home an Explore Your Community Bag with tickets and coupons for free stuff inside when you reach 100 points and after July 1. 

 

Teens: earn 200 points to complete the program! 

Teenagers aged 12 to 18, your goal this summer is to earn 200 points by logging your time spent reading, completing activities, and writing reviews. Keep an eye out each week for new activity challenges to earn your points faster. Take home an Explore Your Community Bag with tickets and coupons for free stuff inside when you reach 100 points and after July 1. 

 

Adults: earn 30 points to complete the program! 

Adults ages 18+, your goal is to earn 30 points. We recommend adults log their reading by books, and one book and one review per month will earn you all the points you need to complete the challenge. 

 

Everyone 

When you complete the Summer Reading Challenge, and after August 1, you earn a book to keep, plus you’re entered in a drawing for gift cards. There are 9 for kids, 9 for teens, and 9 for adults. Earn additional entries by continuing to read and log!
