Have you already signed up for this year’s Summer Reading program, or are you interested in signing up, but you’re not sure what to expect? Learn more here, or stop by to talk to Library staff!
Registration/Sign-ups
Anyone can register online or in person until June 21. Our Summer Reading is all-ages, and we encourage parents and grandparents to participate with their littles! If you’re an adult flying solo, that’s okay too! Seriously– everyone is welcome to join us in some Summer Reading fun.
When to attend
We welcome everyone to join us on June 21 from 10a-12p to launch this year’s Summer Reading. In addition to picking up their program materials (tracker and swag), there will be program-themed activities to enjoy (& beat the heat!). If you can’t make it, however, you can pick up your materials from Library staff anytime after June 21.
After the launch, it’s up to you when you want to participate in on-site activities. The program is designed so that you can do it all at your pace and on your time if you’d like, or you can take advantage of the many events we have planned throughout the summer. For example, we’ll have weekly multi-activity storytime sessions on most Tuesdays (10a-10:30a for Tiny Tots, 10:30a-11:15a for Toddlers, & 11:30a-12:15p for Youth), but we’ll also have evening programs like Masked Karaoke for teens and paint-pour portraits for youth.
To stay up-to-date, be sure to visit our online calendar frequently, and follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
Rewards
Everyone wins for participating in Summer Reading at DPL. There are special weekly prizes for the under-5yo kids, a different set of weekly prizes for 6yo-12yo (and teens who elect weekly prizes) who meet their weekly goals, and drawing tickets for adults (and teens who elect drawing tickets). You can see more about how it works by clicking here.
