Read, Renew, Repeat: Summer Reading 2024

Children (birth - entering grade 6)

June 10th - August 3rd

Hey kids! Did you know that libraries are great for the environment? One book, many readers. Kids of all ages can check out books this summer at the library then READ, RENEW, REPEAT! Students entering grades K - 6 and children ages 2 - 5 will enjoy a summer full of reading challenges and activities when they join the Planet Protectors Reading Club. Little ones, ages birth to two years have a club just for them. Wee World encourages reading, singing, clapping and bouncing together.

The goal of the reading club is to develop a habit of reading EVERY day this summer for FUN! All type of books are encouraged, including e-books and audiobooks. Children may read independently or listen to books read aloud. Choose from over 50,000 books in the Children’s Department. Use the Planet Protectors Reading Log linked below to track your daily reading. The Reading Calendar can be printed at home from the link below or picked up in the Children’s Department. Follow the instructions in the calendar to record the days you have read and your reading activities. Once you completed seven days of reading, bring your booklet to the library to pick up your READ, RENEW, REPEAT t-shirt (while supplies last). Earn up to six rewards through August 3rd.
Visit the Library Calendar to find reading activities and programs for the whole family. For more information about children’s programs and services, please call the Children’s Desk at 860-652-7718.
