Read books, complete activities, and explore new ideas as you make your way through the summer. To get started, visit your local library to pick up your Reading Record and learn about the exciting programs and activities happening in your community. You can also join through our Online Reading Tracker. Then track your reading, collect stickers, and celebrate your progress all summer long. Whether you love graphic novels, information books, audiobooks, writing your own stories or being read to, every bit of literacy counts!

Happy reading, and have a fantastic summer!
