Dive into a world of sizzling summer reads and events that are hotter than the summer sun! Summer Reading kicks off at Sno-Isle Libraries on June 1.
Kids and teens who read for 10 hours will get a free book and sticker. All reading counts, including being read to or listening to an audiobook.
Embrace this year’s Summer Reading theme, “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” by packing up your imagination and heading off on a literary adventure. Saddle your unicorn, cross the troll bridge, and journey to a fantasy land. Jet off to outer space and enjoy stories among the stars. Or get your heart racing with a mystery. The right book awaits each reader. Browse curated booklists or connect with library staff for the perfect personalized reading recommendation.
“Reading or being read to during the summer months has so many positive benefits,” says Jennifer Sullivan, student success coordinator at Sno-Isle Libraries. “Our library staff are ready to help every child or teen experience the joy of reading.”
Reading over the summer helps students maintain and improve upon reading skills gained during the school year, so they are ready to start learning in September. Summer Reading also encourages a lifelong love for reading and provides fun events for curious minds.
It’s easy to get started! Participants have the option of tracking their time online using the Beanstack app or with a printed reading log. In 2023 Sno-Isle Libraries celebrated 6,477 Summer Reading finishers. That’s over 64,000 hours (or 2,699 days) of combined reading.
