Seeking adventure this summer? Look between the pages of a great book! Summer Reading Club at Burlington Public Library is a free and fun program for kids to grow and maintain their reading skills over the summer.
Research shows that children who continue reading over the summer are better prepared when they return to school in the fall. With the school year coming to an end, itβs a great time to get a free library card and sign up for Summer Reading Club.
How it Works
- Register at any Burlington Public Library branch or online through the registration form
- Pick up or print a reading tracker and set a weekly reading goal
- Check in every week starting June 29 to add to your reading reward keychain and enter prize draws, just for reading!
At every weekly check-in, readers earn two beads for their reading reward keychain and an entry into the end-of-summer Grand Prize Draw. The more often participants check in, the more chances they have to win!
Kick Off the Summer With Us
Families are invited to celebrate the start of the season at Summer Reading Club Kick-off Parties on Saturday, June 27 at 10:30 a.m. at Burlington Public Library branches. The free events feature music, dancing, crafts, and activities for all ages.
Throughout July and August, the Library will also offer a wide range of free programs for children and teens, including hands-on science and technology activities, arts and crafts, teen hangouts, and more.
A library card opens the door to thousands of books, audiobooks, video games, park passes, and other resources that help make summer learning fun. Burlington Public Library staff are always available to help families discover books and materials that match every interest, age, and reading level.
Summer Reading Club is open to kids ages 0-17. To register, visit any Burlington Public Library branch or visit the libraryβs website at www.bpl.on.ca/src.
