About the Summer Reading Club

 

How do I get involved with Summer Reading?
You can register for the Summer Reading Club online, or you can visit your local Baltimore County Public Library at any time during the program to register.

 

How much does Summer Reading cost?
Nothing ... it's absolutely free! But you can help support Summer Reading by buying a really cool tee-shirt. They come in all sizes for the whole family, and you can collect a different one every year!  Check out this year's shirt design.

 

What will I be doing?
You can read magazines, newspapers, books from a school reading list, or any book that you like! The main thing is ... READ! There are also crafts and activities throughout the summer, so be sure to take a look at the Program Guide available online or pick one up at your local library.

 

If someone can't read yet, can they still participate?
Absolutely! You’re never too young to join in the fun! Good listening counts for children who have not yet learned to read, and there are fun activities too. The Birth to 5 program is for kids ages birth to age 5.

 

Am I too old for Summer Reading?
No! There's a teen program just for middle and high school students. And if you have some summer reading assignments from school, you can read books from that reading list as part of the library's Summer Reading Club! There are also crafts and activities throughout the summer, so be sure to take a look at the Program Guide available online or pick one up at your local library.

 

Will there be any special Summer Reading Events at my library?
Oh yeah! And you won't want to miss any of the fun things happening at your library, so be sure to pick up a Summer Reading Program Guide at your library or check it out online!
