Summer Reading Club

Sign up for the Summer Reading Club during your branch’s open hours beginning the week of June 23, 2025. You can start recording your reading right away, but you need to wait until Wednesday, July 2 to start collecting and entering ballots. 

Earn one ballot for every 30 minutes that you spend reading. You also earn one ballot just by registering for the SRC!

Please sign up at just one branch, but feel free to collect ballots and enter draws at any branch.

Each branch will have draws for gift baskets and an experience prize. You choose which one you would most like to win and put your ballot into that ballot box!

Yes! Keep track of your reading while you are away and report back to us when you get home.

Yes! Bring your grandchildren to the library and we will sign them up! They are also welcome to register for any of our programs.
