This year’s theme is Imagine Your Story. Program registration has begun, with each program running from Monday, June 15 to Friday, September 4.

Kids Summer Reading Program (Ages 0 – 12) Families can complete the seven weeks of summer reading any time between June 15 and September 4, though families must have started by July 20 to be able to complete all seven weeks. Every child who reports seven weeks of reading will earn a prize pack to be picked up at the end of the summer. Every Monday until September 7, we will draw five winners from the participants who have logged reading on READsquared. Each winner will receive a $5 gift card to a local business. Children may report their own reading on our READsquared page, or they may call during our open hours to report. See our website for updated hours. All library programs for the 2020 Summer Reading Program will be virtual or asynchronous. Please watch our website and social media channels for updates. Virtual Programming for the Imagine Your Story Summer Reading Program will run six weeks from Monday, July 6 to Friday, August 15. In addition to our weekly programs, we still have a special online Zoom with the MOST coming up on Monday, August 3!

Teen Summer Reading Program (Ages 12-19) Report your progress online until Friday, September 4. Log your minutes/books and complete missions to earn points and be awarded badges. Complete the required missions to earn each badge in a category (Library, Read, Create, Play, Family, Explore) to get a Super Badge and 10 bonus points (Super Badges become available on Saturday, August 1). Each mission is worth different points; some of the missions overlap multiple categories (you only need to complete them once to count for all categories). Special programming and bonus badges will become available throughout the summer. Keep an eye out for them and their points! Complete challenges, read and review books, and earn badges to make progress along the online game board. Each level of the game board (every 100 points) earns you an e-ticket to enter into the drawing of your choosing for the summer grand prize drawings. Every teen who earns at least 1000 points will also receive a prize pack to be picked up after Saturday, August 1. Teens who complete the game board will receive an additional prize pack to be picked up after Friday, September 4. **PLEASE NOTE** Each 100 points you earn by reading and/or completing missions earns you 1 e-ticket. We will NOT have paper tickets as we have in past years. More prizes may be added as the summer progresses, and prizes are subject to change depending upon availability and opening status. All e-tickets MUST be submitted by the end of the program on Friday, September 4, 2020 at 11:59 PM. Please choose your e-ticket drawing entries carefully as changes cannot be made once submitted! Once a ticket is submitted, it cannot be removed from a drawing, moved to a different drawing, or edited in any way. One winner will be chosen randomly (on Saturday, September 5) for each prize unless otherwise stated. It is possible for the same person to win multiple prizes if e-tickets are submitted in multiple drawings. Grand Prize raffles are reserved for teens living within the Central New York area and are awarded at the library’s discretion. Teen SRP Grand Prize Raffles: Amazon gift card ($25) Apple gift card ($25) Dunkin gift card ($25) SnoTop gift card ($25) Mrs. Kelder’s gift certificate ($25) SweetFrog gift card ($25) Voltage Video Games gift certificate ($25) Google Play Store gift card ($25) OIP gift card ($25) Dazzle gift card ($25) **Note** It is possible to complete the program just with reading. It is not possible to complete the program without some reading. Missions alone will not earn enough points to complete the game board.
