Join us for a summer of magic, mythology and imagination. The Summer Reading program is for everyone: there is no age limit, no cost, and no library card required.
Here's how it works:

1) Visit the library to pick up your reading log and BINGO card and find out if you are assigned to either team Knights or Dragons.

2) Start reading and completing your activity BINGO sheet on June 16. You will receive one point for every day that you read 15 minutes or for each activity you complete on your BINGO sheet.

3) Come to the library each week to receive a scratch ticket that will reveal a weekly prize.

4) When you reach 50 points, you have completed the program (but you can still keep reading and racking up even MORE points)! We will donate one nonperishable item to the Portland Library for each person who reaches the 50 point goal! We will also donate one extra item at the end of the summer for each person on the winning team of Knights or Dragons.

Programs
The library looks forward to providing the same summer opportunities for literacy, STEM, art, and all-around fun as in previous years---just in a different format! Visit www.portlandlibraryct.org for a complete list of our programs. Once you register, visit the library to pick up the materials and instructions for the weekly activities. You can complete them yourself at your own pace by tuning into our YouTube tutorials, or  join us at the scheduled meeting time via Zoom to do them "in person" with us and other program attendees. 

Missions
