Once you've registered and completed a week of reading (remember, each circle = 20 minutes of reading) to reach a Milestone on your Summer Reading Log, you're ready to submit your progress below!

Don't worry if you start late or fall a little behind. You can always catch up by reading extra!

Instructions

1. When you reach a Milestone on your log, click the corresponding Milestone below to submit your progress.

Note: A new Milestone will be available each Wednesday starting May 29 - when the picture changes from gray to color, you'll know you can click on it! Want reminders when each Milestone opens? Make sure you're signed up for Summer Reading Updates.

2. After logging online, children and teens can visit the library to claim that Milestone's prize. Adults, you will earn prizes at Milestones 1, 4, and 8. Pick up your prizes at the Adult Information Desk, while supplies last. For Milestones 2, 3, 5, and 7, submitting your Milestone on time automatically enters you into our weekly prize drawing!

*NEW* BONUS READING + COMMUNITY READING GOAL

Finish your required summer reading early? Don't stop! This year, you can log "Bonus Reading". Track your extra reading and log it on the Milestone page beginning July 17 to help us reach our Community Reading Goal of 1.5 million minutes.

IF WE REACH 1.5 MILLION MINUTES READ
Library Director Andrew Harant and children's manager Miss Amy will have to hold a surprise reptile when Realm of the Reptile visits on Monday, August 5 from 6 - 7 p.m. Kids and teens who read the most total minutes this summer will be named our Top Readers and will receive the option to hold a reptile, too! Mark your calendars - you won't want to miss this!

If you finished the Summer Reading Program, but you're not ready for the fun to end, you can now track your BONUS READING! (It’s completely optional and will not affect your odds of winning our Grand Prizes.)

🤔 WHY LOG BONUS READING?🤔

By logging Bonus Reading, you’ll have the opportunity to be acknowledged as one of our Top Readers and help us reach our Community Reading Goal of 1.5 million minutes read.

🦎🐍 One Child Top Reader and one Teen Top Reader will also receive the opportunity to hold a reptile at the Realm of the Reptile program on Monday, Aug. 5 from 6 – 7 p.m. Top Readers who wish to hold a reptile will be notified by phone on Saturday, Aug. 3, and must be able to confirm their availability to attend the program on Aug. 5. If desired, Adult Top Readers will be honored publicly on social media and in library communications.

🌟 HOW TO LOG BONUS READING 🌟

The Bonus Reading entry form will be open for two weeks from July 17 - 31. Log your reading below by clicking the Bonus Reading image. Reading must be logged in MINUTES only. (Logging in hours will result in inaccurate calculations.) Forms must be submitted individually, one per reader. We recommend collecting your total reading and submitting once before the deadline.

You may also download a personal Bonus Reading Log to help you track your bonus reading before logging it officially online.

We did it!

Together we've read 1,233,400 minutes (and we're still counting!)

We did it! We reached our Community Reading Goal of 1.2 MILLON minutes read this summer.

To celebrate, we're hosting a special Pie-in-the-Face Storytime on Mon., Aug. 7, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. and everyone's invited! We'll watch Children’s Dept. Manager “Miss” Amy Galluch, Director Andrew Harant, and Asst. Director Jennifer Reynard each get a pie in the face!

Randomly selected children and library staff who complete the Summer Reading Program will get the honor of pie-ing Amy, Andrew, and Jennifer.
