Books are your passport to adventure, so get ready to read across the globe this summer by joining Burlington Public Library’s Summer Reading Club (SRC). This exciting reading club is for ages from birth to 17. Read what you want – when you want – how you want. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s easy. Registration is now open, and everyone is welcome to join.
Young people don’t have to look very far for a summer reading program.
From June 28 to August 24, young readers can set their own weekly reading goal and strive to achieve it. This year, journey around the world one amazing book at a time—and discover new adventures along the way!
“When kids keep reading during the summer, they hold on to the skills they’ve worked so hard to build over the school year,” says Lita Barrie, BPL Chief Executive Officer. “A simple reading goal can make all the difference—helping kids stay sharp, feel confident, and head back to school ready to learn.”
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 tracker and check in with Library staff. Share what you’ve read to receive a weekly giveaway prize and a ballot for a chance to win a BPL Prize Pack during three draws throughout the summer. The first prize draw takes place early, so be sure to register for SRC by June 29.
Stay Engaged with Weekly Staff Picks
To keep the momentum going over the 12-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.
There’s always something happening at the library. Find out what’s on this summer at bpl.on.ca/programs and follow us on social media @BurlONLibrary.
