Summer Reading Club 2025

Colour Your Summer!

REGISTRATION

Registration for the 2025 Summer Reading Club is open now!

THE CHALLENGE IS BACK!

Calling all students in grades K-6: We challenge you to read this summer for 15 minutes a day for 50 days or more! You can read whatever you want, wherever you want, and however you want! Books, comics, non-fiction, novels, audiobooks, ebooks, magazines—in any language!

The Kids Summer Reading Club is for kids who can do a bit of reading on their own with some help, and kids who can read totally on their own.

Students in grades 7+ can join the Teen Reading Club.

WEEKLY CHECK-INS and Stickers

Each week starting Wednesday, July 2, Summer Reading Club members can visit the Library to check-in their reading, collect their weekly sticker, and enter the weekly prize draw.

READING MEDALS

Everyone who reaches the goal of reading for 50 days this summer will be awarded their very own reading medal in September.

Save the dates of Friday, September 12 for our big Medal Ceremony and Tuesday, September 16 for our Mini Medal Ceremony (sensory-friendly option). Times for both ceremonies will be announced in late June.

Unable to attend a ceremony? Stop by the Youth desk to pick up your medal anytime between September 13 – October 5, while supplies last. Readers will receive completion certificates if we run out of medals.

TROPHIES

There are three SRC trophies awarded to the schools with the highest percentage of students who register and complete the 50-day reading challenge. Since we count completion, that means we won’t know the trophy winners until early October.

The school’s rankings will be posted in the Youth Department throughout summer so you can check in on how your school is doing!

To keep things fair, we award three different trophies based on school size: 100 students or less, 100-300 students, and 300-650 students.

RECOMMENDED TITLES

Of course you can read whatever you want this summer, but here are some of our favourites!
