This summer, Lake County Library is turning reading into an adventure — complete with prizes, personal challenges, and a chance to leave your name in a library book forever.
By participating in the library’s summer reading program, children, teens, and adults have a chance to win prizes, ranging from stickers and small toys for kids to a gift basket filled with books.
Participating in Summer Reading with your Library is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to set personal reading goals and explore new genres. For students, summer reading is a proven way to combat the “summer slide” and ensure they return to school ready for academic success. Beyond the classroom, reading for pleasure also enriches vocabulary, sharpens critical thinking, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
The Lake County Library offers engaging, tailored programs designed for all age groups: pre-K, kids, teens, and adults. Even the youngest readers who haven’t yet mastered independent reading can join the fun, with parents and caregivers logging the books they share.
The program starts on June 4, and residents can register on the library’s website or in person at the library. Registration remains open until August 1, ensuring ample time for signing up. To get started, simply visit http://library.lakecountyca.gov and click on the “Summer Reading” link.
Once registered, participants can dive into books and earn points by logging their reading progress either online or by visiting the library. Every type of material borrowed from the library counts towards their goals, including eBooks, print books, audiobooks, magazines, and even graphic novels and comics.
To make summer reading even more enjoyable, the library offers enticing prizes. Kids can earn fun toys, stickers, and pins for their summer reading lanyard. Adults and teens have a chance to win exciting prizes in a drawing at the end of the program. The more points participants earn by reading, the higher their chances of winning.
All of the prizes are generously provided by the Friends of the Lake County Library, a community non-profit membership organization.
Upon reaching 1,000 points, participants will also have a book donated to the library in their name by the Friends of the Lake County Library, along with a Summer Reading book tote. The book will bear their name, commemorating their reading achievement, and they will have the privilege of being the first person to check it out.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your summer more exciting and rewarding with great reads and prizes! Register today at http://library.lakecountyca.gov to discover more about this exciting summer reading challenge.
