Summer Reading 2025Southington Public Library launches its 2025 Summer Reading Program on Monday, June 16th and will run through August 8th. During these 8 weeks, the library will have a range of free activities for children, teens, and adults to encourage and support a love of reading and earn them chances to win prizes.
There is no charge or residency requirement to participate. Choose the appropriate program below and follow the instructions to start earning prizes for using your library all summer long! Reading in all formats is welcome, including print books, graphic novels, eBooks, and audiobooks. Make sure you check out our Library Events Calendar to keep up! Registration for Summer Reading will begin Monday, June 9th. Tracking will begin Monday, June 16th and end Friday, August 8th. Children and Tweens - Birth to 8th Grade Register for our online program through Beanstack, choose the grade your child is going into this fall, and start reading! For every 5 consecutive days that are marked toward your child having read at least 20 minutes, they will receive one raffle ticket that is entered into the weekly prize and grand Prize drawings. If you prefer to not use Beanstack, we have other recording options available; please stop by the Children’s desk, or give us a call at 860-628-0947 x6506 for other Summer Reading tracking options. Teens - Entering 9th to 12th Grade Register for our online program through Beanstack, choose the grade you're going into this fall, and start reading! By tracking every 20 minutes you read through Beanstack, you'll automatically receive raffle tickets for the weekly prize drawing. Adults - Ages 18+ We know adults are busy, but logging your minutes is easy. Listen to audiobooks in the car? That counts. Read to your kid before bedtime? That counts for both of you! Have trouble falling asleep? Research shows that reading aids in sleep readiness. And, of course, don't forget to log that quintessential summer beach read.
