Children's And Teen Summer Reading Challenge

Each summer, GRRL provides themed challenges that encourage children and teens to read during the summer break, maintaining or improving their reading skills. The Summer Reading Challenge sign-up begins in June, and the challenge ends in August.

Three age groups have their own program: Early Learners ages 0-3, Kids ages 4 to grade 6, and Teens ages 6 to 12. Kids in 6th grade can choose the Kids' or Teen Challenge.

You can help support summer reading by donating to the Summer Reading Challenge. Your library will accept donations by cash, check, or credit card.

All regional prizes are generously paid for with funds from the St. Cloud Friends of the Library.
