Summer Reading Club is going to look a little different this year – we’re going online!

Help your child succeed in school and life… Join the Summer Reading Club online. Registration starts Friday June 12.

Children who read over the summer do better in school, and libraries across BC are here to help. Kids sign up online, CLICK HERE.  After reading this summer, they will be eligible to receive a highly coveted Summer Reading Club medal!

During the summer, check out our website for weekly fun and exciting contests to enter. Your entries could be featured on the Burnaby Public Library website, Facebook page or Twitter! You can also find lots of great booklists and reading suggestions.

FAQs:

How do I sign up? Due to COVID-19, our library branches are all temporarily closed. Sign up will be done online this year. Go to www.bpl.bc.ca/summer-reading-club to register and see our weekly challenges.

How will the Summer Reading Club be different from previous years? This year, there will be nothing to collect or hand in to the library—no reading records or calendars. But you are still encouraged to read all summer! You can track your reading online after you sign up, or print out your own reading record at home. Every child who reads this summer can get a medal.

How and when can I get my medal? We aren’t sure yet! We are closely monitoring COVID-19 and taking safety precautions guided by information from local, provincial and government health authorities. We will send out more information in late August, but make sure to check our website www.bpl.bc.ca/summer-reading-club for updates throughout the summer.
