About the Summer Reading Program

How do I get involved with Summer Reading?
Go to your local Baltimore County Public Library at any time during the program to register.

How much does Summer Reading cost?
Nothing ... it's absolutely free! But you can help support Summer Reading by buying a really cool tee-shirt. They come in all sizes for the whole family, and you can collect a different one every year!

What will I be reading?
You can read magazines, newspapers, books from a school reading list, or any book that you like! The main thing is ... READ!

If someone can't read yet, can they still join?
You’re never too young to join in the fun! Good listening counts for children who have not yet learned to read. The Read-to-Me-Club is for kids ages birth to age 5.

I'm in middle school. Am I too old for Summer Reading?
No! And if you have some summer reading assignments from school, you can read books from that reading list as part of the library's Summer Reading Program! There's even a special teen program just for middle-schoolers. Come in to your library to find out more!

Will there be any special Summer Reading Events at my library?
Oh yeah! And you won't want to miss any of the fun things happening at your library, so be sure to pick up a Summer Reading Program Guide at your library, or check the Program Guide online!
