Summer Reading 2026
Track Your Reading and Earn Prizes!
Registration begins June 1st
We have reading stretch goals! We want our children and teens to work together to read as many minutes as possible. If your combined minutes reach these totals, we will do this:
175,000 – Silly String
200,000 – Crazy Hair
250,000 – Water Balloon Fight
This summer we also have a stretch goal for adults! If adults can read 1600 books, we’ll let patrons vote on a theme for a staff dress-up day.
