This year’s theme is “Read, Renew, Repeat” and is designed to encourage kids to use reading as a restorative method of self-improvement, renew their minds, and inspire lifelong learning. The mission of GRRL’s Summer Reading Challenge is to keep kids reading throughout the summer and make it fun and beneficial.

There will be prizes awarded at the end of the challenge, and some will be unique to each branch. Last year almost 13,000 kids took part in the challenge across 32 GRRL locations. The Summer Reading Challenge is open to children ages 0-18 and registration starts on June 3^rd. Find more details on the Library's website.
