Our Summer Reading Clubs offer kids, teens, families and adults a fun way to fill your summer with great books and engaging activities.
This year we have four Summer Reading Clubs and a Community Goal of reading one million minutes!
Kids Summer Reading Club (All Ages)
The Niagara Falls Public Library invites you to keep reading, exploring, and discovering all summer long with our Summer Reading Club! Log your reading minutes to participate in our community goal of reading 1 million minutes this summer and complete activities to win virtual badges and prizes. The more you read and complete activities the more chances you have to win prizes, including our Grand Prize, a Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart game!
Bad Book Challenge (Teens)
What makes a book? Annoying characters? Cheesy dialogue? Too much plot, or maybe too little? All of the above? Niagara Falls Public Library has handpicked a book list so bad it's good, so you can enjoy a summer full of guilt-free pleasure reading from the comfort of your phone, tablet or computer. Because, as we all know, sometimes the best book is a bad book. Claim a badge as you finish—or mostly finish—each book you read. The more badges you collect, the more chances you'll have to win one of our very exciting prizes, including the Grand Prize: a Samsung Galaxy Tablet!
9 to Try (Adults)
Challenge yourself to read, explore and do something new with 9 to Try. Complete badges for a chance to win amazing prizes. Log your reading minutes to contribute to our Community goal of reading 1 million minutes this summer!
Every Child Ready to Read (Ages 2-5)
This reading club is based on the five practices of Every Child Ready to Read. There are activities based on reading, writing, singing, talking, and playing. Get the whole family together and have some fun.
