CHILDREN’S SUMMER READING CLUB – Passport to Reading

June 3, 2025

TD Summer Reading Club is CEHPL’s free annual summer program for kids ages 3 to 12! Designed to encourage children to keep reading and learning all summer long, Summer Reading Club lets kids explore their interests while maintaining skills they learned during the school year. This year’s program runs from June 9th to August 16th and our theme is “Passport to Reading.”

HOW IT WORKS

REGISTER AT YOUR LIBRARY! Visit your local library to sign up and get your logbook, then choose your reading goal. Will you try to read 10, 20, or 30 minutes a day this summer?

READ! Read anything you like – books from the library or books from home, audiobooks, graphic novels, cereal boxes, and more! Being read to counts, too!

Every time you read 10, 20, or 30 minutes (depending on your goal), mark off a shape. Get a prize ballot when you’re halfway to your summer reading goal, then a prize ballot AND an ice cream coupon when you reach your goal!

GET ACTIVE AND PLAY! Complete activities on your own or with family and friends. Get a prize ballot when you do 5 activities, then a prize ballot AND a sticker sheet when you finish 10 activities!

BONUS! Reach your reading goal and complete 10 activities to enter one extra prize ballot.

CHECK IN WITH YOUR LIBRARY! Stop by to tell us what you’re reading, enter ballots and collect prizes, and get more reading recommendations. Be sure to check out the fun programs at your library this summer!
