How It Works
Challenge yourself to a summer of reading. Fight summer boredom or reconnect with your favorite pastime and earn prizes along the way.
Can I join?
Yes! All ages are welcome.
What should I read?
Read anything. Read everything. Read aloud to others or to yourself. Books, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines...it all counts.
Want some suggestions? Request a book fortune or browse these suggestions.
What do I do?

Reading can reduce stress, increase empathy for others and keep your mind sharp. And it's fun!
