All Ages
Participating in a summer reading program is a great way to help students avoid the “summer slide” and keep them engaged while school is out, BUT summer reading is for everyone, regardless of age! Kids, teens, and adults are all encouraged to read, explore, and have fun with us all summer long!

Track Your Reading
Use your Summer Reading log to keep track of the minutes you spend reading this summer. You can read whatever you want – they don’t even have to be library books. There are also themed weekly reading challenges to help you find something different to read. Gibsonville 2019 Reading Log
