1. When can we sign up?
Anytime starting June 13. Just visit your local KDL branch library.
2. My child is too young to read by herself. Can she still participate?
Yes, younger kids can be read to by adults or older siblings. Just follow the "pre-reader" instructions in the reading log. If you have a child 18 months or younger, ask about our Baby Bingo game.
3. Do we have to read library books?
No, any reading material is okay as long as your child is reading at his or her reading level. Audiobooks and magazines count too!
4. We won't be able to attend the programs. Can we still participate?
Yes, the programs are just for fun!
5. Will we have to report on the books we've read?
No, the Summer Reading Club is run on the honor system, although parents do need to sign off on the reading log when kids turn it in to collect prizes and enter the drawings.
6. I won't be here this summer because I'm visiting my grandparents or a parent who lives in another state. What should I do?
Virtually every public library in the U.S. has a summer reading club. Almost every town you visit will have a public library with a reading club and programs for kids that you can join. Many states are participating in the same collaborative summer theme — “One World, Many Stories.”
7. Do we have to wait until August 6 to collect our prizes?
No, come in whenever you have added enough stickers to your log, but feel free to keep reading!
