The Teen Summer Reading Program is a fun way to make reading a regular part of your summer routine. And then there are the amazing events we have just for teens (6th-12th graders). The Reading portion starts June 1 and goes through August 31. Get the details and learn about Teen events on the Summer Reading Program page.

READING & SCIENCE

Pick up a Reading and/or Science Log at the library, or print one (see the attachments at the bottom of this page). Read for at least 20 minutes a day for 20 days and/or complete 10 science explorations. Return your completed logs before August 31 for prizes and entries to grand prize drawings.
