Participation in this event counts towards the Library’s Summer Reading program.

The 2026 Summer Reading program at Lewiston Public Library runs from June to August with the theme of Read, Make, and Explore. We are encouraging participants not only to read or listen to books but also make a new craft or recipe or explore a favorite place in our beautiful city or a new landmark in our wondrous state.

Northern Stars Planetarium is a fully equipped inflatable star theater that comes directly to your location. John Meader, the owner and educator, offers more than 25 different planetarium shows on various astronomical topics, earth and life sciences, as well as live storytelling. Shows are designed to match learning standards for grades pre-K through 8. Northern Stars has been bringing the stars to more than 15,000 Maine students each year since 1987.

The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street.
