Summer Reading is back at the Madison Public Library!
Earn rewards for reading! Registration is still open.
Summer Reading for Preschool, Elementary, and Teens has been extended through August 5th!
We have reading clubs for all ages:
Preschool: Entering Preschool in the fall and younger
Come to the library to pick up a bingo board!
Cross off each task as you complete them.
When you reach a Bingo – five in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, you can earn a reward.
Complete four Bingos to earn another reward.
Finish the whole board for more chances to win a grand prize.
Elementary: Entering Grades K-5 in the fall
Come to the library to pick up a reading log. For every 15 minutes read, color in or cross out a picture. When there are no more pictures to fill in, return your reading log to the library for a reward and a chance to win a grand prize. Get a new reading log and start over!
Print books, ebooks, magazines, graphic novels, and audiobooks all count as reading!
NEW: The Summer Math Challenge for grades 1-5 in the fall
Retain your math skills this summer and earn more chances to win the grand prize!
Every week, a new worksheet custom made to each grade will be available. Return the completed worksheet and receive a grand prize drawing ticket!
This program was developed by Madison High School Mathematics teacher Christopher Monaco and a group of Madison High School volunteers. Take a look at the program’s introductory letter!
Celebrate with us all summer long!
We have a ton of fun events planned for this summer for all ages. You can find all of the details on our online events calendar.
Teen
Summer Reading Bingo
For those entering grades 6-12 in September, grab a Bingo board from the Youth Services desk. Each square on your board will contain a reading prompt or short task to complete. Finish five in a row (up and down, left to right, or diagonal) to earn a Bingo! Return your board to the library, and each Bingo will count as an entry to win one of our three grand prizes. Complete as many Bingos as you’d like- you can even start a new board after you’ve finished your first for more chances to win!
