Children's Reading Program
Join us as we explore a Universe of Stories this summer at the Union Public Library! This year's Summer Reading Program will run from June 24th - August 23rd. That's nine whole weeks to track your reading, enter weekly raffles, and an awesome Grand Prize raffle at the end of the summer! And don't forget to come to either library location for our awesome programs and events happening all summer long! See our summer calendar, available at the library and on our website, to see when programs are happening.
- Use READsquared to track how long you read each day.
- Your goal is to read 60 minutes every week! Once you log 60 minutes of reading, you'll automatically be awarded your first Reading Badge! The more you read, the better your chances are to win a weekly raffle!
- Head to the library once you've been awarded a badge to pick out a prize from the prize box.
- Any child who logs at least 60 minutes of reading during the summer will receive a special prize and will automatically be invited to our End of Summer Ice Cream Party!
- Once you reach 180 minutes of reading, you'll be entered into our Grand Prize Raffle at the end of the summer. You can also earn an extra Grand Prize Raffle entry by reading at least an hour a week for all nine weeks of the Summer Reading Program!
- Don't forget to track the events you attend at the library too! We'll give you a secret code to enter during every library event. Once you've attended 10 library events, you'll get an extra Grand Prize Raffle entry!
Parents: You can create an account for yourself first and then you can add additional accounts for each of your children. That way you will have the ability to easily monitor your child's activity without having to login as each child.
