Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge!
Join Whiting Library for a summer filled with reading, creativity, and discovery! Our Summer Reading Challenge encourages kids simply to read every day—no sign-up, timers, or reading logs required. Just stop by the Youth Room, pick up a summer reading challenge sheet (or not!), and take part in fun activities that keep learning going all summer long.
Did you know that summer break can lead to the “summer slide,” where kids lose academic progress? Our Summer Reading Challenge is the perfect way to keep young minds sharp! Regular reading helps reinforce literacy skills, prevent learning loss, and spark new achievements—all while having fun.
