Teen Summer Reading Program

The Teen Summer Reading Program is a fun way to make reading a regular part of your summer routine. And then there are the amazing events we have just for teens (6th-12th graders). The Summer Reading Program starts June 1 and goes through August 31.

Summer Reading Kick-off Event - Saturday, June 14, 10am-2pm

Get ready for a summer of adventure, reading, and science with this special all-ages event. Make fun crafts, play games, and have some cake!

At 1pm, graphic novelist Aron Steinke, author of the Mr. Wolf’s Class series, will give a special presentation about his life, writing process, and how to “level-up” your own writing and art skills!

Reading & STEAM & Bingo

Pick up a Reading and/or STEAM Log and/or Bingo Card at the library, or print one (see the attachments at the bottom of this page starting June 1). Read for at least 20 minutes a day for 20 days and/or complete 10 STEAM explorations and/or complete 5 squares in a row with Bingo. Return your completed logs before August 31 for prizes and entries to grand prize drawings.
