Welcome to the 2024 Summer Reading Program page!

It’s a jungle of fun!  We will visit far off places both real and imaginary (including an actual rainforest!) during the program.  This year, we have reading programs for all ages, broken into four categories: Pre-K (ages 0-3), Kids (ages 3-12), Teens (13-18) and Adults (19+). Please look at the appropriate age level program for your interests (children that fall between two different programs may choose one program to follow). All participants are able to register for the program between June 1 and June 27th, 2024.  

The Library welcomes participants of all ages and abilities. Since the program is app based, the Summer Reading Program is available anytime. We are still working on additional activities and events as ways to earn additional points towards prizes for the program, details will be shared on our website and Facebook as they are firmed up.

All programs use the ReadSquared app, which is used to register and keep track of your points earned during the program, as well as notification of winning prizes at the end.  Points are used towards buying tickets for various prizes, depending on age level entered.  All programs are eligible to log activity June 1st, and all reading activity and program codes can be logged through July 2nd.  The app can be found at the following links:
