Unearth a story and the joy of discovery that reading brings.  Every person and every community have stories waiting to be found and shared – through books, programs, and local knowledge.  Children, birth through 5th grade, will enjoy a Summer filled with stories, discoveries, and prizes.

This year, you'll have to read 360 minutes, 6 hours, to finish.  That's 6 minutes a day!

Celebrate reading everyday with 500 Books Before Middle School!

From kindergarten through fifth grade, kids read 500 books of their choice to get comfortable with independent reading. Track your progress, monitor the books you read, and earn brag tags for every 50 books you read, as well as, a book on your reading level to keep.

You'll get a cool LML lanyard, when you sign-up, to hold your library card and all the brag tags you earn througout the program.  

Reading just 2 books a week equals 104 books in a year!  So be ready for all middle school has to offer by taking up the 500 Books Before Middle School challenge!
