Summer Reading

Activity challenges will be provided that can substitute for up to two days’ worth of reading every week. Parents and caregivers of children who have alternative reading needs may adjust their goals accordingly. We’ll be providing stretch goals for eager readers, too.

Prizes

As you read along these goals, you’ll earn great prizes!

Prize 1 available starting Week 1 (July 1).

Prize 2 available starting Week 3 (July 15).

Prize 3 available starting Week 5 (July 29).

You can read ahead of schedule, but prizes won’t be available until their release date. If you miss a week, you can collect it the next time.

For example: If you come in July 15, and haven’t gotten any prizes yet, you can pick up prize number 1 and 2. If you’ve read past that point, and are ready for prize 3, you’ll have to wait until July 29 to get that next prize.

Prizes will be available any time after their first availability date until August 9, while supplies last.

Patterson Library welcomes many visitors over the summer. If your loved ones are coming to visit, they can participate in the reading program, too! We have an abbreviated one to two week reading log available for visiting children. Kids can log their reading for prizes throughout the duration of their stay without having to commit to the full six week program.

This program is paper-only. Pick up a reading log at the Children’s Desk.
