Teen Summer Reading 2026

Teen 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.

This year’s theme is Read, Make, Explore! We are encouraging teens 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, teens will use a bookmark to track reading and activities for free books and prizes. Please pick up a bookmark at the Reference Desk on the second floor, complete five of the activities listed, and turn it in at the Reference Desk to be entered into our end-of-summer prize drawings. Teens will also get to choose a FREE BOOK to keep for every reading bookmark completed.

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

Teens may complete as many reading bookmarks as they wish throughout the summer reading program. Bookmarks are available starting on Monday, June 1st.

Admission is free to all Teen 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.
