JBM-HH Summer Reading Program

Excitement and fun await those who journey to the Library and participate in the Summer Reading Program, Level Up at Your Library!

During summer, June through August, the library encourages children, teens, and adults to support a love of reading. Whether indoors or enjoying the weather outdoors, this program is a great opportunity to check out and enjoy Library materials at your own pace.

There’s also a serious side to summer reading. Research has shown that reading over the summer prevents summer reading loss. Studies also indicate students who read recreationally outperformed those who don’t. Students read more when they can choose materials based on their own interests.

Our library is committed to supporting lifelong learning and educational enrichment for all families to enjoy. The Summer Reading Program promotes literacy and the joy of reading through engaging materials for all ages.

Participants will be entered into a prize drawing upon reaching their reading minutes goals. Each winner will be contacted directly to claim their prize.

Summer reading goals are divided by age groups as follows:

  • Pre-readers (age 0 - 4)
  • Children (age 5 - 12)
  • Teens (age 13 - 17)
  • Adults (18 and older)
