Dare County Library’s 2023 Summer Reading Program
June 1, 2023 @ 8:00 am - August 11, 2023 @ 5:00 pm EDT
This year’s Summer Reading theme is “ALL TOGETHER NOW” around which Ms. Donna and Ms. Tammy have many fun, engaging and educational programs planned.
Guidelines:
- Register in-person, by phone, or online anytime
- Each child’s name will go on a chart at their preferred Library location
- For each day a child reads, they place a sticker on their chart
- Any reading counts: books, audiobooks, eBooks, reading aloud to your child, magazines, newspapers, even cereal boxes!
- 40 Days of reading = a FREE Prize Book courtesy of the Dare County Library Foundation Click here to see the List of Prize Book Options.
Preschool age children are invited to enroll in a special “ALL TOGETHER NOW” Summer Reading Program just for them, designed to improve their reading and listening skills. Parents can track the books they read with their preschoolers. Preschool Story hours continue over the summer but the schedule changes, so be sure to check our online calendar or stop by the library to pick up an “ALL TOGETHER NOW” Summer Reading Program calendar of events.
