Welcome to Summer Reading 2022!

Norton Public Library presents six weeks of summer fun for ages 0-18! 
​Tuesday, July 5 - Friday, August 12

To read beyond the beaten path, we encourage you to:

  • ​Read in new ways - outdoors, upside down, with friends, as an audiobook!
  • Read new things - nonfiction, graphic novels, digital magazines - all reading is real reading!
  • Read adventurously - We suggest books about summer camp, road trips, travel, wilderness survival, and general outdoorsiness, but feel absolutely free to read anything that gets your mind going, your heart racing, and your pages turning!​

How to Participate

Register in person in the children's room starting July 5. 
  • Ages 0-5 will complete brain-building early literacy activities
  • Ages 6-11 will record each 20 minutes of reading on our sticker log for a total goal of 1000 minutes
  • Ages 12-18 will complete exciting reading challenges
