All participants can register for Summer Reading online beginning May 10, 2024.
These links will send you to our quick and easy online registration page. From there, you can print a one-page reading log for each person you register. Register one person at a time. No printer? No problem. You can register for our Summer Reading Program and pick up a reading log in person at any of our open branch locations beginning June 1, 2024. There are no added prizes/incentives for registering online before June 1, just more time to record reading.
All of the great Summer Reading prizes, performers, and events are paid for with the generous support of the Friends of the Public Library, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
You can make a donation to support the Summer Reading Program.
The Public Library's Summer Reading Program, Adventure Begins at Your Library, is almost here! We are hard at work, preparing another fun summer of reading, singing, learning and family fun at all 19 of our branch locations in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. We'll kick off the celebration on Saturday, June 1 (June 3 at our Alamosa and Westgate branches) and we'll continue for 8 weeks, until Saturday, July 27. Readers of all ages are welcome to pick up a reading log at any of our locations beginning June 1, tracking reading progress and earning weekly prizes, or chances at prizes for the over-18 crowd!
Readers who can't wait until June 1 to get reading are welcome to register online and print a reading log from the link on this webpage beginning Friday, May 10. There are no extra prizes for registering online/early, just extra time for reading! Online registrants will NOT need to re-register at a branch once the Summer Reading Program officially begins.
We'll be making updates to this webpage as we continue to finalize all of our details, so be sure to check back often!
You can pick up your own copy of our Special Events Guide at any local Public Library branch. There is no advance registration required to attend Children & Family Special Events. Other event categories, especially events for Tweens and Teens, DO require advance registration as we have limited supplies for our participants. Other Special event categories MAY require advance registration; please check your Special Event Guide for details, or ask at the branch holding the event.
Sometimes, we're faced with unforeseen circumstances beyond our control! Please check this website for any Special Event updates before you head over to the branch - we'll post the latest details here!
