Color Our World: Summer Reading 2025

Children (birth - entering grade 6)

June 16th - August 9th

Get ready to add a splash of color to your summer with the Color Our World Summer Reading Club! Designed for students entering grades K-6 and kids ages 2-5, this program is all about exploring stories, creativity, and imagination through the vibrant world of colors.  Little ones, ages birth to two years have a club just for them. Crayon Crew 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 types 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 Color Our World Reading Calendar 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 Color Our World t-shirt (while supplies last). Earn up to six rewards through August 9th. 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.
