How does Summer Reading Work?

Pick up a One World, Many Stories Summer Reading Entry Sheet in Youth Services at the Main Library, at the Bookmobile or at one of our branch locations - Library! at Cole & Ustick, Library! at Collister, or Library! at Hillcrest.  Or, click here to print a copy. Beginning June 1, keep track of the time you spend reading books, being read to or listening to audiobooks. Complete and return your Summer Reading Entry Sheet to your nearest library by July 31 to earn prizes and to be entered in prize drawings.

Participation

Summer Reading begins June 1 and continues through July 31. Participants may enter at only one library site and must pick up all earned prizes at that location. Participants in Boise Public Library’s Summer Reading Program must be Boise residents with a public library card. 

Nonresidents may visit www.idahokidsread.org to find a library summer reading program in their area.

Prizes

Children are encouraged to read 20 minutes each day to earn prizes. Each level is equivalent to reading 20 minutes for 10 days, or a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes. The levels must be completed in order.
