Children’s Summer Reading 2025

June 23rd – August 23rd
Welcome to Summer Reading 2025 in the Children’s Department!

The 2025 Summer Reading program at Lewiston Public Library begins Monday, June 23rd and will run until Saturday, August 23rd.


This year’s theme is Read, Make, Explore! We are encouraging children not only to read or listen to books, but also make a new craft or recipe, or explore a favorite place.


For the Summer Reading program, children will use a bookmark to track reading and activities for free books and prizes. Please pick up a bookmark at the Children’s Desk on the third floor, complete five of the activities listed, and turn it in at the Children’s Desk to be entered into our end-of-summer prize drawings.

Children will also get to choose a FREE BOOK to keep for every reading bookmark completed. 

  1. Pick up a bookmark from the Children’s Desk on the third floor
  2. Complete any 5 activities from our Summer Reading bookmark
  3. Turn it in at the Library to be entered into prize drawings!

Children may complete as many reading bookmarks as they wish throughout the summer reading program. Bookmarks are available starting on Monday, June 16th. Completed bookmarks may be turned in starting on June 23rd.

Admission is free to all Children’s Summer Reading events and no library card is required to participate in the Summer Reading programs. Prizes must be picked up in person at the library.
