The Children’s Summer Reading Program is open to Easton residents between the ages of 1 and 11. This year’s theme is Wild Reads. Children will find fun and encouragement as they pursue their individual reading adventures.

This is an incentive based program. Every child who reads 10 books or has them read to him or her, receives an incentive. For children challenged to read larger books, 50 pages equal one book. Children will receive a reading log when they sign-up for the program. Parents please sign off on the log as your child reads.

Preschool through Kindergarten Incentives

10 books — Wild Animal Mask
20 books — Zoo Animal Stamper
30 books — Zoo Animal Bendable

1st Grade through 6th Grade Incentives

10 books — Wild Reads Tattoo
20 books — Zebra Striped Pencil
