Summer Reading 2023
|
Youth in the Roaring Fork Valley are invited to explore, read, and grow all summer long with the Basalt Regional Library. Come together at the library for the Summer Reading Program, packed 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, All Together Now, celebrates kindness, friendships, and unity. Our reading challenges, activities, and programs have been tailored to readers of all ages.

How it works
STEP 2: Read & Learn!
- Babies & Preschoolers: Caregivers are encouraged to read, attend library programs, and complete early literacy activities with their babies and preschoolers all summer long! View our babies’ and preschoolers’ Summer Reading Logs to see what activities count towards summer reading prizes.
- Kids & Teens: See how many books, graphic novels, and audiobooks you can read and listen to this summer! The more you read and listen, the more prizes you can earn! We also have fun programs for kids and teens, some of which require registration.
STEP 3: Submit Summer Reading Logs!
Pick up and submit paper summer reading logs from the library or submit them online between June 5th and July 31st.
