Adult Summer Reading 2026

Summer Reading is not just for kids!

Adult Summer Reading 2026

Monday, June 1st – Monday, August 31st

The 2026 Summer Reading program at Lewiston Public Library begins Monday, June 1st and will run until Monday, August 31st. The Library will offer free, public programs and events for adults throughout the summer.

This year, all ages are using a bookmark reading log to track reading and activities for prizes. Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick up a bookmark from any service desk
  2. Complete at least 5 activities from our Summer Reading bookmark
  3. Turn in your bookmark at the Library to be entered into prize drawings!

This year’s theme is Read, Make, Explore! 

  • READ (or listen!) to books
  • MAKE something new like a craft or recipe
  • EXPLORE new horizons by visiting a park or museum, attending a Library program, or by learning something new.

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