Summer Reading Program 2024: Adventure Begins at Your Library
Starting Saturday, June 1st, stop by the library to celebrate the start of our annual Summer Reading program! Learn about upcoming programs, pick up a reading tracker, and check out our "Adventure Awaits" display. Community members are invited to bring a photo of one of their favorite adventures and add a travel destination to our map.
How it Works:
Every summer, the Port Townsend Public Library invites community members to participate in our annual Summer Reading program. The Summer Reading program includes self-paced reading challenges, interactive programs and activities, and live performances and events. Reading challenges for kids, teens, and adults run from June 1st-August 31st. Participants can track their hours using the beanstack app or by printing a reading tracker (available below). Fun prizes are available for kids, teens, and adults that accomplish the reading challenge in each age category.
Any and all reading that you do from June 1st- August 31st can be applied to one of our summer reading challenges. Read a book with a friend, listen to an audiobook, attend one of our weekly storytimes, enjoy a graphic novel, it all counts!
The Port Townsend Public Library's Summer Reading program is available to all community members and no registration is required. Just start reading!
