Adult Summer Reading
Want to read more this summer? Escape the heat, explore new genres, and earn fun badges with our adult summer reading challenge!
Join us for bookish fun all summer long.
Program runs 6/21/26-8/31/26
Turn your pages into prizes!
Turn your summer reading into rewards. Every book you finish earns you a digital entry into our summer giveaway series. We’re giving away prizes including gift cards, tote bags, and beach blankets throughout the summer, plus one lucky reader will walk away with our grand prize at the end of the season: a golden ticket to skip the hold line on any print book.
