Summer Reading Club

Attention readers of ALL ages! You are invited to join the Summer Reading Club at the Delaware County District Library. This summer’s theme is Let Freedom Read and celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Use the navigation menu to explore reading adventures you can take this summer. No matter your age, there’s a place for you or someone you know.

Summer Reading Club begins June 1 and lasts through July 31, so Let Freedom Read!

Pick up a reading log for kids, or a bookmark reading log for teens or adults from your local Delaware County District Library branch, from our summer “Check it Out” newsletter or download a reading log for kids, or a bookmark for teens or adults now.

Whether you like books, comics, eBooks, audiobooks, or being read to by a family member or a friend, remember all of that counts toward your summer reading total!

Prizes may be picked up from June 2 – July 31. Summer Reading Club and read-on bonus prizes vary by age group and will be limited as supplies are available. Select an age group to learn what you can earn for reading.

When you reach your reading goal, grab a read-on bookmark and keep reading! Each completed bookmark earns you an entry into our prize basket drawing!
