Online registration is open, but please wait till June 1 to pick up an activity booklet, book incentive (for kids), and book bag for your local library.

The Challenge

Beginning, June 1, come by your favorite library and pick up a Summer Reading Challenge activity booklet. Set a goal by deciding how many activities you will complete during the summer. After you’ve completed all your activities, come back to the library to pick up a completion prize.

Everyone receives a special tote bag when you sign up! Children will also get a book when they sign up for the Challenge. 

The Summer Reading Challenge runs from June 1 – July 31, 2023.

Prizes 

Upon completion of the Challenge, children and teens will earn a book prize. Adults will receive a commemorative enamel pin. Please visit your local library to claim your prize!

All registrants are automatically entered into weekly prize drawings for exciting prizes like Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants tickets.  Winners will be notified by email or a phone call.

All prizes must be picked up at a branch. The Library will not ship any prizes to library users.
