About Our Summer Reading Programs

No matter how old or how young you are, Boise Public Library has a Summer Reading program for you. And, thanks to our generous sponsors, we have lots of great prizes to make it even more interesting!  So, find yourself a good read and a comfortable spot, and START READING!

Boise Public Library's Summer Reading programs are open to Boise residents with a public library card.  Registration runs June 1 through July 31, at any Boise Public Library site. Teens and adults may also register online. Please call 384-4200 (Youth Services) or 384-4076 (Adult Services) for more information.

Prizes

Summer reading programs are important in helping students maintain and improve reading skills over the summer. But, we hope all ages will read for the fun of it - plus the great prizes! 

To beef up the reading fun factor, local organizations support library Summer Reading by donating a variety of prizes. Every child or teen who reaches reading goals in a Treasure Valley Library Summer Reading Program (including Boise Public Library's) gets a free pass from the Boise Hawks Baseball Club, the Snake River Stampede Rodeo, Idaho IceWorld and the Discovery Center of Idaho; and various other prizes. 

In addition, Boise Public Library Summer Reading participants qualify for entry into prize drawings, sponsored by the Friends of Boise Public Library, Flying Pie Pizzaria, and others.

In case you're curious ...
