Get ready to embark on a summer reading adventure when Burlington Public Library’s Summer Reading Club registration opens on Saturday, June 22. This exciting reading club is for ages birth to 18. Read what you want – when you want – how you want. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s easy.
Starting June 24 through to August 18, set your own weekly reading goal and strive to achieve it. This year, read a galaxy of books and discover new adventures along the way!
Frances Hanemaayer, Manager, North Branches, holds a reading tracker participants receive with they register for BPL’s Summer Reading Club
“When kids keep reading during summer vacation, they’re ready to jump back into the school routine in September,” says Lita Barrie, BPL Chief Executive Officer. “Setting a reasonable goal and achieving it is a great way for young people to build confidence in reading skills and in themselves.”
Rewards & Prizes Galore
Although reading a good book is its own reward, participants can visit their nearby branch every week with their Summer Reading Club (SRC) passport and check-in with Library staff. Share what you’ve read to receive a weekly giveaway prize and a chance to win a gift card to a local Burlington business.
Plus, every check-in gets you entered into the end-of-summer grand prize draw. Reach the halfway point of SRC, and you’ll receive a voucher to make a free button in the Library’s MakerSpace.
Stay Engaged with Weekly Staff Picks
To keep the momentum going over the eight-week program, we’ll send out freshly curated Staff Picks booklists to participants every week, along with a friendly reminder to check-in. These selections are sure to keep young readers and parents engaged and motivated.
“Summer Reading Club is an excellent way to reinforce a positive reading habit while also making the most of all the free programs for kids throughout the summer,” Barrie adds.
