Let stories and books add shade and brightness to your summer. It’s time for our Color Our World Summer Reading Challenge!  Keep track of your reading minutes to help your team achieve victory and earn our community summer reading prizes, an Ice Cream Party and a NY State Empire Parks Pass you can borrow to hike and explore across the state.

The Color Our World Summer Reading Challenge will launch June 20th. You can join us and log your family's reading time online here or with a paper tracking form. Teens and tweens ages 11-18, should use the online program log.

Readers of all ages can show off their hard work by earning prizes. All ages earn raffle tickets for gift cards, LEGO kits, event tickets, and more. Kids also earn rare brag badges, squishies, and other small prizes to keep them going through the summer.

Join a team in the battle for the Best Reader crown. This year, it’s the Roaring Reds versus the Brave Blues versus the Sunshine Yellows. Which team will read the most and be revealed during a color explosion at our end of summer party? 

Use your summer break to help our library grow! Together, if we achieve our community goal of 70,000 minutes read, we'll earn our community prizes. This year, we'll receive a NY State Empire Parks Pass  anyone can borrow and an ice cream party to celebrate! The End of Summer Celebration with ice cream and prizes will be Friday, August 22, 4:30 - 6:30 PM.

Participating in the summer reading challenge helps students of all ages to fend off the summer slide, the academic backtracking kids often experience due to summer vacation.
