All participants can register for Summer Reading online beginning May 9, 2025.
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 May 31, 2025. There are no added prizes/incentives for registering online before May 31, 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.
May 31 -- July 26
The Public Library's Summer Reading Program, Color Our World, is going on now at all of our branches! Pick up a reading log and join us for 8 weeks of reading and fun for all ages!
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!
