Adult Summer Reading 2024

You might think of summer reading programs being for kids and teens, but we have a program for adults, too!

Our 2024 Adult Summer Reading program begins on Thursday, June 13 and ends on Wednesday, August 28. Participation and tracking takes place on the library’s READsquared online platform.

READsquared is simple to use and can be accessed online or through an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app has a whole new look this year!

If you've participated in our summer reading or winter BINGO programs in the past, you can use the same account for this year's program. New to summer reading at AFL? Account creation takes just a few minutes and also includes the option to link other readers giving you the ability to log reading for your whole household in just a few clicks.

This year, all adults who register for the program can pick up a packet with summer reading tips and some fun library swag! Packets will be available for pick up beginning on Thursday, June 13.

Need a break from your book? Join us in July and August for our Family Garden Shows on Monday nights and our Queset Garden Concert Series on select Thursday nights.

There are two ways to earn points in this year's program: logging time spent reading and writing book reviews.

You'll earn 1 point for every minute of reading logged. It doesn't matter if you read in print, digitally, or listen to audiobooks. It all counts as reading!

You can also earn 140 points for every book review submitted. We don't expect a full book report, just a few sentences about what you liked or didn't like about the book. Note: Please allow up to 72 hours for book review points to appear in your account.

 

Redeeming Points Illustrated otter next to three arrows

Throughout the summer, the points you earn can be redeemed as virtual raffle entries!

Each raffle entry is 140 points. You can enter as many raffles as you like, but prize winners are not eligible to win more than one prize. 

Raffle drawings will be held the week of September 2.
