Summer Reading Challenge on green background
Register for the reading race at your local library or online. We have categories for early readers, children, teens, and adults, so everyone can get in on the challenge! You will receive a reading log, with sections to fill in for every 15 minutes of reading for early lit/children, and every 30 minutes of reading for teens/adults. EVERY person who completes their reading log will win a prize! Prizes will be announced soon! After you have completed your reading log - keep reading! You can earn "brag tags" for further reading accomplishments, and the top readers from each branch will be eligible for the grand prize drawing!

To register, visit your local library branch to receive your goodie bags and registration logs! If you prefer to register online, you can do so at mycprl.org/srpregistration

You must fill out the CPRL paper reading logs to be eligible for library prizes, but if you are not able to visit the library, you can also participate in the fun with ReadSquared - an app that allows readers to log their reading time to earn digital badges, unlock games, and participate in theme-related challenges.
