Summer Reading Challenge

Grab your gear and get ready to dig in! From dinosaur discoveries and ancient civilizations to hidden histories and forgotten worlds, the library is your base camp for exploration and adventure.

The Tri-Town Summer Reading Challenge encourages children to spend quality time reading alone, with an adult, or alongside a family member, friend, or pet!

Read anything … magazines or eBooks, read to others, listen to an audiobook! Every page helps uncover a new story!

Return to your library and show your Reading Log to a member of staff to receive a prize and a ticket for a chance at one of the grand prizes. The last day to receive tickets is Friday, July 31, 2026.

We encourage you to visit all three Tri-Town libraries and unearth stories that spark your curiosity, fuel your imagination, and bring the past to life. Ready to start digging?
