The 2022 Summer Reading Program begins on Saturday, June 11!

The theme of this year’s Summer Reading is ‘Oceans of Possibilities’, and there will be a series of sea-themed events and other programs. Many of these events will be held outdoors, some on the Library’s front lawn under a tent. Early sign-ups mean an enhanced opportunity to read and earn more points for prizes, such as tickets to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA!

The Fine Print:
Dive in by signing up online. Read books (on the beach or at poolside is optional). Log the books you’ve read online.
You may read any books. Fiction or non-fiction, old or new, classic literature or bestselling beach novel. They don’t have to be library books. E-books and audiobooks are also acceptable, as are books in languages other than English. (Sorry, the picture books you read to your children are NOT eligible, but if your children are registered for Summer Reading, those books can be entered on their reading logs.)
Most important: HAVE FUN!
