Reading levels

When you register online for Summer Reading, you are signing up to read for 30 total days. And you can read anything! As you “level up” through the 30 days, you’ll earn badges, bragging rights and the chance to earn prizes. You will also be able to write book reviews for the books you love and want others to read.

We have four program levels, and every reader will choose the level that best applies to them:

Early Literacy: ages 5 and under
Children: ages 6-12
Teen: ages 13-17
Adult: ages 18 and up

Once you have read for 30 days, and have logged your reading, you will be awarded completion prizes (while supplies last) and will be automatically entered into Grand Prize Drawings for a chance to win great prizes! Each branch will have a Grand Prize winner.
