SUMMER READING 2023

Childrens and Teens:

Registration for summer reading for children and teens is on the library website! You may also click this link to register your child or teen.

Kids and teens must be registered by June 8th! There are great prizes for everyone, including gift cards for ice cream, prize books, and Topsfield Fair Prize Packs for kids in grades K-6. You can read the full rules and guidelines on the library website here. Please read carefully.

And Have Fun!

Adults:

The Bingo game is back, but with a twist! Beginning Saturday, June 10th, you can register for the Adult Summer Reading Program! You have until Tuesday, July 25th to register.

This program will run between June 10th and August 18th. Just like last year, participants will earn raffle tickets for chances to win a gift certificate from a local business. Adults can earn raffle tickets by filling in the squares on their Bingo board, but also by attending adult summer events... and we have some really fun ones lined up!
