Children's Summer Reading

1. For every 3 hours you read, pick up a reward at your library plus enter your name in drawings for additional prizes.
2. When you have read for 12 hours, you have officially completed the program. This means that you’ve earned a book and Royals tickets (while supplies last)!
3. Keep reading and keep entering your name in drawings all summer long!

Your Kansas City Public Library is full of many stories that will inspire you to discover the world. AND we have terrific events (pdf) going on all summer! Take a look at the suggested books for some new ideas. Explore the program listings (pdf) to find great happenings. The library is the place to be this summer.

So grab your library card and explore the world of reading fun at your library this summer!
