Ah summertime, when you can read for more than just enjoyment!
Prizes. We mean that there will be prizes. Little kids, big kids, teens, and adults can all join in on our summer reading programs to see if they can beat their reading goals and maybe even get a little something for having done their part to keep Weston reading all summer long!
Registration for summer reading begins Tuesday, June 14th (the link won't be live until then- have patience!). Folks of all ages can register at https://westonlibrary.beanstack.org/
Younger children (preschool through Kindergarten) can join our Preschool Reading Program. Readers entering Grades 1 - 6 can join our kids' Summer Reading Program.
Middle and High School students entering Grades 6 - 12 can register for the Teen Reading Program. Lastly, our readers 18+ can join in the adult program, "Reading is So Delicious."
The Preschool Program
Keep track of books shared with your child. Enter the title and author of each book read together on their Reading Page in the online database. You can even give each book a short review! For every five books read, you earn a prize from the Summer Reading Treasure Chest. There are also some just-for-fun challenges.
The Kids' Reading Program
There are two different ways to keep track of your reading. Once you register and start your Online Reading Page, you are ready to go! The first option is to earn Logging Badges by entering the title and author for each book you read. The second option is to complete Activity Badges over the summer, with all the Activities related to books, libraries, or reading. And of course, you can do both!
Each time you earn a Logging Badge, you can pick a prize from our Summer Reading Prize Chest. Stop by the Library and check in with the Librarian. You may pick up three prizes per visit.
We also have a Summer Reading Raffle! Every time readers earn an Activity Badge, they get a raffle ticket, which can be put towards the summer reading raffle prizes. These prizes will be on display in the display case at the Library. At the end of the Summer Reading Program, we will draw the names of the winners.
Everyone who participated in the program can join us the last week of August for a Summer Reading Celebration!
For the Teens
Teens can earn points by logging reading, completing challenges, and writing reviews. Teens also earn raffle tickets to win big prizes based on the number of books read. Points can be redeemed at the end of the summer reading party. Teen-only programs will also be happening in July and August:
