Summer Reading is an annual nationwide reading program. People spend two months reading as much as they can, tracking their progress, winning prizes, and attending events.
Summer Reading is divided by age: preschool, school age, teen, and adult. But the goal is the same for everyone: read, read, read!
The program runs from Monday, June 2 through Saturday, July 26. This summer’s theme is “Color Our World,” so you can look forward to art-themed events, activities, and prizes all summer.
