The TD Summer Reading Club is a free program that encourages kids (ages 3+) to read over their summer break from school. The program is adaptable to kids of all ages, interests, and abilities.
It gives kids an opportunity to learn and grow with each story. Kids set their own points goal, track their activities, and report back at the Library to earn prizes throughout the summer.
How it works
Take a look at our 2022 Intro Video! 2023 information coming soon.
1. Register
Registration opens in branches and here online June 15, 2023.
2. Earn points
When you sign up for TD Summer Reading Club, you'll set your points goal for the summer.
Reading is more than just picking up a book. Kids can build literacy skills without even realizing it; by telling a story about their day, drawing a picture, or helping write a grocery list.
Kids also learn through play, so we encourage kids to stretch their imaginations to earn points in unique ways.
Kids can earn points by:
- Reading, reading, reading—to themselves or someone else
- Telling a joke
- Drawing a picture
- Writing a story
- Exploring a museum
- Conducting a science experiment
- Singing a song
- Playing a board game
- Playing a game or sport
- Making a craft
- Putting on a play
- Anything that works your brain will help you gain!
