Prescott Public Library 2021 Summer Reading Program

Every year, the library looks forward to planning and preparing for eight weeks of summer reading fun.  The benefits to participating in a summer reading program are many, including helping kids to make reading a lifelong habit, maintaining and increasing reading skills, and generating interest in the library and books.

For all these reasons and more, Prescott Public Library’s Summer Reading Program for kids, teens, and adults begins May 20th! The Summer Reading Program encourages everyone to read for pleasure over the summer months with prizes, programs, and activities to reward you along the way. The program is free, fun, and keeps kids reading all summer long.

How to Participate in the Summer Youth Reading Program:

  • Sign up at the Youth Desk and receive a paper reading log to track your minutes
  • Sign up and log your minutes online at https://ppl.azsummerreading.org/
  • Get the READsquared app, then sign up and log your minutes through the app

How to Participate in the Summer Adult Reading Program:

  • Register online, at the Youth Desk or at the Ask a Librarian Desk.
  • Read (or listen) to a book, newspaper or magazine and track your minutes online, or by keeping a paper log.

Receive an entry into a weekly drawing for a $25 gift card for every 200 minutes read.

Three gift cards will be awarded each week.
