Summer Reading Program

Children ages 2 – 12 with a valid MLNV library card can sign up to participate in the Summer Reading Program to earn prizes.

We have programs for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers.

Teens and adults can also sign up to earn prizes of their own by stopping by the front desk to pick up a reading tracker.

The 2023 Summer Reading Program will take place June – August. Check back later for exact dates.

Registration dates will be announced soon for the 2023 Summer Reading Program.

Children must have a valid MLNV library card. Library cards are available for free at the front desk and are available immediately. You can also sign up for a card online and come to the library to pick it up. Find out more about membership eligibility HERE.

Registration for programs must be done in person at the library or over the phone by calling 610.759.4932 (option 3). Registration is first-come, first-served. Registration for each event begins the Monday two weeks before the event. Check the Summer Reading Program booklet or calendar for age and registration requirements.

Summer reading programs are an affordable, effective way to keep children’s emerging reading skills sharp. Summer reading programs are also fun and engaging for young people!

From the American Library Association’s website: “Numerous studies have shown that summer programs help ensure that school children retain reading and learning skills over the summer recess.” Read more HERE.
