   We LOVE the library summer reading program! My three girls have been participating in the program for several years now (they’re ages 13, 10 and 7). It’s definitely great motivation for the summer, though, I’m super blessed that they all love to read anyway…lol.

   My 2 and 4 yr olds love the libtary as well. Just a note my librarian said most supplies like glue, stickers, stamps etc they use to do crafts she buys so might be good to ask and if you have stock pile from couponing good place to donate locally.

   Today we had lunch out courtesy of our summer reading program. My daughters each received free meals as reading prizes at Isaacs Deli and my lunch was $6. Super fun summer treat!

   We live in an area that has multiple library systems (different counties) and have discovered you can sign up with any of them, even if you aren’t a county resident. They all have great programs and rewards for the kids for doing their summer reading. I felt weird about signing up for multiple libraries, but my librarian in our town assured me that we should do it and enjoy all the library goodness we could.

   Our summer reading program is awesome! Once my kids reach 24 hours of reading time they will each receive 2 tickets to a MLB baseball game. We’ve done this every year since it started and it’s an awesome incentive to do more reading.

   My local library system also has an adult summer reading program. I won an Amazon Kindle in a drawing for those that participated!

   Our library did baseball game tickets (we have a Post 45 league), mini golf game, toys, restaurant freebies, etc. This was our first year participating. Looking forward to it next summer!!

    My sister is a children’s library director at a group of city libraries and designs the children’s reading program each year. She works very hard to make programs worthwhile, find fun reading rewards and instill a love of reading in kids. So, in addition to the prizes, also check out the programs. Lots of free, fun entertainment & activities!

    Also, a tip my sister gives is that many libraries have passes to zoos, museums, etc. that you can check out. You may have to wait and you can only check it out for a short time so others can use it, but it’s a great resource!

    My daughter got to pick a book, and got to pick a prize from the prize board. She picked a free kids meal at Chilis.

    I live in a very large county (geographically the size of the state of RI) and while we have many branches around the county, the main branch is giving away free solar eclipse glasses as long as you have a library card! Check your local library.

    Our library is great too! My oldest just finished up their summer program, he had a blast. They are having an ice cream finale next week. Unfortunately, our library will probably be closing, the town has budget issues & our city council members seem to already have made their minds up, one of them saying in an interview, “How many people actually use the library anyway?”

    Our library gave us a bag filled with coupons for free meals at Chipotle, McDonald’s, free sundae at Applebee’s and some pencils and erasers for school. My daughter only had to log 5 books that she read. Such a nice way to encourage reading. My daughter actually enjoys going to the library already so this is a special reward for her.
