You can also use our digital submission form to log your reads individually. 

What counts as books?

Log any of the following types of books to count towards your final reading count! Read alone, in groups, or with your family.

  • Fiction
  • Non-fiction
  • Art Books
  • Graphic novels
  • Manga
  • Novellas
  • Poetry Collections
  • Picture Books

Why should I participate?

Reading grows your mind and takes you places you might never see otherwise. Reading grows empathy and curiosity and keeps your mind sharp. And we have prizes for those who read the most!

Can I participate in Summer Reading without focusing on reading as much?

We will have 3 types of take and make craft kits available through the summer that are free to everyone with a reading log. Only books read will count towards the Summer Reading prizes but everyone is welcome to participate in the crafts. Limited supplies available.
