Summer Reading is back at the Madison Public Library!
Earn rewards for reading! Registration begins June 17th.
See below for details about each program:
Kids: Grades 5 and under
We are tracking days!
Come to the library to pick up a reading log. For every day you read or are read to, color in or cross out a picture in numerical order. When you reach a star (you will every 7 days!), bring your reading log to the library for a reward and a chance to win a grand prize. Take your reading log home and continue filling it in!
Color in six stars to receive a Super Reader Lawn Sign (while supplies last)!
Print books, ebooks, magazines, graphic novels, and audiobooks all count as reading!
Celebrate with us on June 22nd!
Welcome summer to the library with our annual party in the courtyard, occuring Monday, June 22nd, from 2-4 PM. Come register for the reading club, visit any number of tables with crafts, face painting, glitter tattoos, or play dough! Can’t make it the 22nd? No worries, 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
Choose your own adventure!
For those entering grades 6-12 in September, grab a reading log from the library. Each book you read earns you one ticket to enter into the drawing for a prize, with the opportunity to win bonus tickets as you go. Check your log in at the library to collect your tickets!
OR – New for 2026! – You can choose to fill in a bingo board instead of a reading log. Read a book from a top shelf, with a cover you hate, and more to mix things up this summer! Each book you read earns you one ticket to enter into our grand prize raffles, and you can earn up to 5 special bingo prizes as you fill your board.
Bring your reading log or bingo board to the library to collect tickets and prizes as you go!
Registration starts on June 17th, and you can submit your logs through August 7th.
