Summer Reading 2022

Youth in the Roaring Fork Valley are invited to explore, read, and grow all summer long with the Basalt Regional Library. Oceans of Possibilities await with fun programs, reading challenges, and prizes!

For years, libraries across the country have implemented summer reading programs to combat summer learning loss (AKA the “summer slide”), develop a love of reading in children, and help struggling readers catch up before the next school year. But summer reading isn’t just about books! Our theme this year, Oceans of Possibilities, invites you to explore the marine world that encompasses over 70% of our planet.
​

Our reading challenges, activities, and programs have been tailored to readers of all ages.
Babies
Ages 0-2
Kids 
Entering 1st-4th grades
Preschoolers 
​Ages 3-5
Teens 
Entering grades 5+
