Kick off summer with us at our Teen Summer Reading Program Launch Party on Wednesday, July 1st from 5:00–6:30 PM! This year’s theme is Unearth a Story, and we’re celebrating with a BBQ Party featuring free food, music, and games. It’s the perfect way for teens ages 12 and up to start the summer with friends, fun, and plenty of excitement.
Then keep the adventure going all summer long by logging your reading from July 1–August 15, 2026, for a chance to win prizes for the most reading minutes! This year’s prizes include a $50 Target Gift Card for 1st place, a $25 Lakewood Golf Center Gift Card for 2nd place, and a $15 Ice Cream Shack Gift Card for 3rd place.
