Summer Reading Club is an annual self-paced reading challenge for everyone!
Embark on a journey of exploration and discovery!
June 15– August 15, 2026
Hello, friends!
We are digging into good books, uncovering hidden histories, and exploring the past for Summer Reading Club 2026, and you're invited! Summer Reading Club is a self-paced reading challenge for all ages. Every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared.
Readers of all ages will use ReadSquared to log days read (app available in the Apple App store or Google Play store), badges earned, and prizes collected along the way. Complete extra activities to be entered into raffle prize drawings. If you are interested in tracking with pen and paper instead of using ReadSquared, talk to your librarian.
How do I get started?
Once you've joined ReadSquared or registered with the help of a librarian, it's time to start reading! You can read on your own, with family members, in a treehouse, on the beach, listening to an audiobook, on an ereader- it doesn't matter how! You can read however and whatever you'd like for this challenge. The library catalog is full of books, movies, ebooks, audiobooks, and more to explore together!
Earn prizes for reading for 15 and 30 days! 30 days of reading completes the Summer Reading Challenge. When you get a badge with a notification stop by any library branch to pick up your prize for each milestone you've completed.
What other adventures should I expect?
