JUST READ 30 DAYS BETWEEN
JUNE 1 AND AUGUST 5.

Three other ways to sign up for Summer Read:

You can get help and pick up prizes at any location!

Stop at any location to pick up your prizes. Just tell us if you are using a paper tracker, counting your days digitally, or adding stickers to our reading boards.

  • Sign-up prize: everyone gets a tote bag when they sign up. You can pick up your bag beginning June 1.
  • Midway prize for kids and teens: a handy flashlight for reading at night.
  • Completion prize: kids and teens choose a book to keep from our special selection, and grown-ups get a mug.
  • Grand prizes: everyone who completes Summer Read is entered into grand prize drawings for Nintendo Switch Lites, Kindles, Cricuts, Fitbit trackers, gift cards , and more.
Prizes are available while supplies last. We can’t mail sign-up, midway, or completion prizes. 

Kids and teens can earn one more chance to win Summer Read grand prizes by completing fun activity trackers. Pick up a paper tracker at any location (or download the kids tracker here and the teen tracker here.)
