Summer Reading 2022
Kids’ Summer Reading
How to participate:
- Mark a piece of food on the reading log for each day that you read or listen.
- After 20 days of reading, bring your log to the Kids’ Library – you’re halfway done!
Prize pickup begins June 13. - After 40 days of reading, you’ve completed the program! Come to the Kids’ Library to receive your final prize.
Reading log must be received by July 31 to collect prizes.
Some things to note:
Read for as long as you like! Your days do not have to be in a row. All kinds of reading and listening count!
Each child is allowed one reading log for the summer.
Prizes are available to children, from birth through Grade 8, with an Elmhurst Public Library card or students who attend an Elmhurst school.
Prize entry winners will be contacted after August 1. To arrange prize pickup accommodations, email kids@elmlib.org.
Looking for reading suggestions?
Booklists for preschool, elementary and middle school aged kids are available.
Videos, featuring our staff talking about some of their favorite reads for preschool listeners and for readers for every grade level, are on the EPL YouTube page.
Media Match Jr., EPL’s recommendation service for the youngest members of our community, is another great place to go! Start by filling out our kids form which asks additional questions to make sure we can make the best possible suggestions for children.
