2025 Summer Reading Challenge
Color Our World is the theme for the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge! We invite you to embark on a journey of art and creativity, celebrating the myriad ways in which art enriches our lives. Our summer program is designed to inspire and engage readers of all ages through a diverse array of artistic expressions. Create a colorful tapestry of library experiences for youth, teens, and adults during the Summer Reading Challenge June 1 - July 31, 2025.
Any reading counts, including audio books, reading on your own or to others, and having books read to you. Complete reading goals for chances to win prize tickets to Kings Island, Dayton Dragons, or Cincinnati Reds - or win local gift cards and goodies. Each week, visit the library to spin the wheel and win a small prize.
