The Summer Reading Program Starts Soon!
The Peoria Public Library system is one of 65 libraries across the County gearing up for Summer Reading as Maricopa County Reads opens June 1 at MaricopaCountyReads.org. With a community goal of 65 million minutes read, Maricopa County Reads is one of the county’s largest literacy efforts and plays a vital role in reducing learning loss while transitioning between school years.
Participants of all ages (child, teen, & adult) earn one point per minute for reading physical or electronic books (including graphic novels) or listening to audiobooks. Additional points are earned for attending events hosted by librarians and local performers, completing summer reading challenges, and participating in community experiences to find secret codes while exploring Maricopa County.
Prizes vary based on the amount of points readers achieve. Readers who achieve 1,000 points can choose a free book for their home library, or to donate to a local Head Start classroom. The theme of this year’s program is 'Adventure Begins At Your Library'!
The program starts June 1 and goes through August 1, with preregistration starting May 1. To preregister, visit: https://maricopacountyreads.org/
