- The Summer Reading Challenge runs from June 16th until Labor Day 2026.

- When you’ve read two of the books on the challenge list, request a free entry slip from the library helper. Fill it out and drop it in the Summer Reading Challenge jar at the desk. Every two books mean another entry slip for the grand prize drawing. Each book counts in one category.
