Kids: Join Summer at CPL

Calling all kids 0 to 13 and their families! Are you ready to read, create and have fun this summer?

  • Sign up using our online form below starting June 21 or stop by your neighborhood library. 
  • Keep track of what you read and do on your log sheet. You can print the log sheet or pick one up from your neighborhood library.
  • Share what you read and do. You can keep reporting through our online form below or when you visit your neighborhood library.

Complete the program when you:

  • Read for at least 25 days. Read books, eBooks, comics or anything you want for at least 20 minutes a day.
  • Do at least five activities. Take part in a library event, create art, write a story or try something new.

Turn in your completed log (in English or en Español) to a Chicago Public Library location by August 3, to earn a t-shirt! (While supplies last)

And make sure to visit chipublib.org/summer for summer events and reading recommendations.
