Summer Reading
Santa Monica Public Library's Summer Reading Program is designed to combat the “summer slide,” helping youth maintain and build their reading and learning skills during the school break. Open to kids, teens, and adults, the program offers something for everyone, from engaging reading challenges to exciting events throughout the summer. Participants can track their reading minutes and activities, with opportunities to earn fun prizes at the halfway point and upon completing their challenge. This program not only encourages a lifelong love of reading but also fosters learning and creativity for the whole community.
