Teen Summer Reading June 14 - August 31
Montgomery County Public Libraries’ Summer Reading Challenge offers teens a chance to fill their summer with great books and fun activities. This year, we are partnering with the Montgomery Parks Foundation to help preserve our history, increase accessibility, and keep our parks beautiful.
Join the fun by reading books, completing creative learning activities, and attending library programs all summer long. Choose a free book at sign-up! You’ll also earn Washington Nationals baseball tickets and FOLMC vouchers for a free book (while supplies last). Teens who complete the entire Summer Reading Challenge will receive Washington Mystics basketball tickets for a game at Capital One Arena!
Participating is easy:
- Sign up (or log in) online or at your local library starting May 15. Begin logging your activities and pick up your free book starting June 14th.
- Teens ages 13-17 complete their bingo board (PDF) to complete the program.
- The last day to pick up Washington Nationals vouchers is August 31st. All other giveaways must be picked up by September 6th.
- Take our survey in English or Spanish when you've finished the program. Your voice counts!
