Make a Splash at Your Library!

Get ready to dive into another summer of reading and free fun here at the library! This year 49 states plus U.S. army bases and U.S. territories around the world will be using the same theme for their Summer Reading Programs. The theme for kids is “Make a Splash-Read!” Teens will also have a separate program, “Make Waves at Your Library”.

Our program at MCLS starts Monday, June 28 and continues for 6 weeks until Friday, August 6. Register at your local library branch beginning Monday, June 21. Registration will continue throughout the program. Registration means receiving a log book to record all the books the child reads during the summer. Each week participants can return to their branches with their log books in order to receive a prize!

In addition to the reading, all libraries will be offering a wide variety of special programs, including book clubs, crafts, magic, science, music, and live animals! To see what your branch is offering, please refer to our event list all summer long.

The purpose of the summer reading program is to help families encourage their kids to read throughout the summer. Participants can read books from the library or from another source. They can read just one book each week, or one hundred, or just one chapter.
