What Is the Summer Reading Program?
Keep learning going all summer long with an engaging program at Morley Library. This free program encourages kids, teens, and adults to read at least 20 minutes a day and complete activities that make learning fun all summer long.
All reading counts! Whether a child has an adult read to them, adults listen to audiobooks on their commute, or participants read graphic novels, comic books, blog posts, or magazines—it all adds up.
Activities matter! Activities count toward completing the challenge. The more badges you complete, the more digital tickets you earn.
