Let stories and books add shade and brightness to your summer. It’s time for our Color Our World Summer Reading Challenge! Keep track of your reading minutes to help your team achieve victory and earn our community summer reading prizes, an Ice Cream Party, and a NY State Empire Parks Pass you can borrow to hike and explore across the state.
The Color Our World Summer Reading Challenge will launch June 20th. You can join us and log your family's reading time online here or with a paper tracking form.
Readers of all ages can show off their hard work by earning prizes. Every reader earns raffle tickets for our big prizes, like gift cards, LEGO kits, event tickets, and more. Kids also receive small prizes to keep them going through the summer.
New this year! Join a team in the battle for the Best Reader crown. This year, it’s the Blue Vortex versus Fire Storm versus the Lemon Legends. Which team will read the most and be crowned top team during a color explosion at our end of summer party?
Use your summer break to help our library grow! Together, if we achieve our community reading goals, we'll earn our community prizes. If Pawling can read 40,000 minutes, we earn a NY State Empire Parks Pass anyone can borrow to access local state parks for free. At 80,000 minutes, we earn an ice cream party to celebrate! The End of Summer Ice Cream Party will be Friday, August 22, 4:30 - 6:30 PM.
Participating in the summer reading challenge helps students of all ages to fend off the summer slide, the academic backtracking kids often experience due to summer vacation.
