Summer Reading Program
For 8 weeks through June & July we help fight summer learning loss with our reading program. We offer weekly incentives for meeting reading goals and have programs at least every other week.
This year we celebrate a UNIVERSE OF STORIES with activities that explore the final frontier, real and fictional!
We ask that teens read a minimum of 3 hours per week. That’s only about 25 minutes a day.
Highlights
Prizes for weekly participation- weekly slips earns you a scratch off ticket, and you could win one of several kinds of prizes. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Grand Prize drawing at the end of the summer for tickets to Worlds of Fun and a $20 gas card!!! You can get one bonus entry per week for a book report at least four sentences long on what you read that week.
Completing 6 weeks means you get a ticket to the Finale Party! The Finale Party will once again be at the YMCA, where you can swim, eat pizza, have ice cream, or play games.
