Mercer County Library is once again set to host a summer reading program for kids, teens and adults. This year’s program is set to start June 16 and run until Aug. 9.
This year’s theme is Color Our World. The Mercer County libraries invite readers of all ages to explore the joy of reading and the power of stories to bring color, creativity and connection into our lives.
Those interested can register at any point during the program, but the deadline to log all completed books is set for Aug. 9 at 5 p.m.
The libraries have collected the summer reading lists for the following school districts: East Windsor, Ewing, Hamilton, Hopewell Valley, Lawrence, Princeton, Robbinsville, Trenton and West Windsor-Plainsboro.
Also collected are reading lists for The Lawrenceville School, Notre Dame High School, Princeton Day School, The Pennington School, St. Ann School, St. Paul School, Stuart Country Day School, Thrive Charter School and Villa Victoria Academy.
Those interested in participating can stop into their local branch to pick up a reading log. The recommended process for participants is to write their name, age and branch in the log, write down how many minutes they read each day in a blank box, and take the log back to the branch once each week through Aug. 9 to receive a prize.
The children’s summer reading program is for ages infant to 11 years old. The teen summer reading program for ages 12 to 18 years old.
For adults, each completed book in their logs will earn a raffle ticket entry into their local branch’s adult summer reading program raffle.
