Summer Reading 2023

Sweet summer

 

Monday, June 5 - Sunday, August 13

Reading is sweet at Lake Villa District Library. And the more you read, the sweeter it gets! No matter your age or reading level, we want you to join the fun. We’ve got great programs and activities planned all summer long---including an end of summer party. 

Participating is a piece of cake, here’s how:

  • Set a goal for how many minutes you want to read each day. (How about 20?)
  • Cross off a box for every day you reach your goal.
  • Check-in with us to track your progress. Every 10 days you read earns an entry into our Summer Reading Raffle.
  • Collect your prize at Day 20.
  • Keep reading for extra chances to win.

*Remember---being read to or reading to someone counts.

Hey Grown-Ups! Summer reading isn’t just for the kids. You, too, can earn chances to win prizes. How does a gift certificate to area restaurants or local stores sound? All you need to do is set aside some time every day for reading. And remember, anything and everything counts.  And the best part about reading every day? You’re modeling reading as a lifelong skill to the children in your life.
