Kids Summer Reading 2023

Welcome to Summer Reading 2023 in the Children’s Department!

The 2023 Summer Reading program at Lewiston Public Library begins Monday, June 26^th and will run until Friday, August 18^th.

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 be using a bookmark to track reading and activities for free books and prizes. Please pick up a bookmark in the Children’s Department on the third floor, complete five of the activities listed, and turn it in at the desk in the Children’s Department 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.

Children may complete as many reading bookmarks as they wish throughout the summer reading program. Bookmarks are available starting on Friday, June 23^rd. Completed bookmarks may be turned in starting on June 26th.

Although the Summer Reading performances are over, there is still time to exchange completed bookmarks for free books! Bookmarks will be accepted and entered into the raffle through Friday, August 18th.

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.
