Summer Reading Programs

5/31/2022

5/31/22 @ 9:50 a.m.

Summer is a perfect time to either continue your reading journey or develop some new reading habits and have some fun while you are at it! Our summer reading program starts this week and will run through July 22.

When you sign up for the summer reading program at nassaureads.com or at one of our 5 branches, you will receive a reading bag. Our younger summer reading participants (ages 0-11), will receive a reading log that can be filled out and brought in weekly for small prizes. Our teen and adult readers will have the opportunity to complete book reviews (on Facebook or on paper) to be entered into a prize drawing at the end of the summer. The goal of the reading program is to have conversations with others about the books that we love!

Registration link here.
