It's time to get signed up for SUMMER READING! Summer reading programs at the library help students retain literacy skills developed during the school year and prevent students from losing literacy skills gained during the school year.

How do I get signed up for summer reading?

You can stop by the library and fill out a sign up sheet, give the library a call at 907-543-4516, or sign up online. If you sign up online, make sure to drop by the library to pick up your summer reading bag that has your reading log, calendar of summer programs, and fun activities.

Who can sign up for summer reading?

The Kuskokwim Consortium Library has four age brackets for challenges:

• PreK: ages birth to 5
• Children: ages 6 to 11
• Teens: ages 12 to 18
• Adults: 18+

In other words, everyone can sign up for summer reading.

When does summer reading start?

Summer reading officially begins on Saturday, May 10. Last change to log pages is August 13 at 6 p.m.

What can you expect from summer reading this year?

There are two elements to summer reading. One is the goal to read as much as possible in order to be entered into the summer reading raffle to win prizes at our end-of-summer reading celebration. Some prizes may include sports equipment, craft/art kits, gift cards, and so much more! Log those pages into summer reading and your chances of winning something awesome are almost guaranteed.

This years theme is "Level Up at Your Library" so we will also be doing a gameboard reading challenge. Each age bracket will compete in a different board game. (So adults vs adults, teens vs teens, etc.) All you have to do is log pages and stop by the library to roll a die. That die tells you haw many spaces to move on the board. The only way to win is to read!

The second component of summer reading is the many fun programs! This year we have all sorts of programs around the theme of games but also of our yearly programs such as plant gathering walks, kayaking, Artapalooza, and more!
