Summer Reading

How to Participate

MidPointe’s Summer Reading 2023 will feature an “All Together Now” Adventure Log and patrons of all ages are challenged to create their own adventure by completing 10 of the suggested activities to reach Prize Level 1 and an additional 10 activities to reach Prize Level 2. They will also be able to continue the fun by winning raffle tickets for grand prizes once they complete the map. Summer Reading 2023 will run from June 1 – July 31. Throughout this time, MidPointe’s programming calendar will be jam-packed with exciting theme-based programming.

Logs are designed for all ages so families can enjoy activities together! Many encourage you to explore different books or foster early literacy in little ones. Others support fun around the house or in your community.  

Remember, reading material can come from anywhere: the Library, MidPointe’s eLibrary, audiobooks, comic books, graphic novels or books you have at home!
