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, 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.
