What is the summer reading challenge?

This is an 8-week program designed to keep children reading and prevent the “summer slide.” By enrolling in the program, we hope that you will encourage and help your child meet their weekly reading goal of 100 minutes per week. Each time their weekly goal is met, they can come into the library for a small prize – up to 8 times. There are also free programs scheduled throughout the summer that explore the theme of dinosaurs and discovery that your child/children are encouraged to participate in.

Can my child participate in the Summer Reading Program?

Any child who lives in the MSAD 54 school district OR has a current Skowhegan Free Public Library card and is between the ages of 2—12, can register for and participate in our Summer Reading Program. Your child can be a family reader or an independent reader.

How can I register my child?

Reading logs and registrations can be found at the library beginning on Monday, June 15th. All children ages 2-12 are eligible to participate.
