Summer Reading Kickoff
Event for all ages
Kick off your Creative Summer @ the Library
with a variety of art and craft projects!
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 through July 31, at any Boise Public Library site. Teens
and adults may also register online. For

local libraries with summer reading programs.
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.
