Kids can read almost anywhere
Pierce County Library System
The great thing about the summer reading program from the Pierce County Library System? It's free and open to everybody. Read books, track your progress and check out fun virtual programs: You don’t have to have a library card, and you don’t even have to live in Pierce County. (You do have to live in Pierce County to win a prize, though.)
What should you read? Start by browsing book lists for all ages. Graphic novels, e-books, magazines — anything and everything counts for your reading log, even listening to an audiobook. Log your reading with Beanstack and earn digital badges. Or you can track your progress on printable reading logs; there are logs for wee readers, kids, teens and adults.
The library isn’t holding any in-person events or programs during this COVID-19 summer; instead check out activities and story times on the Pierce County Library’s YouTube channel, and join the library’s Facebook group for families.
If you don’t have internet access, the library is making grab-and-go activity packs that you can pick up later this summer.
Update 7/20/2020: Starting today, the following Pierce County Library branches are now open for curbside holds pick-ups: Fife, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Parkland/Spanaway, South Hill, Summit, Sumner and University Place. Find out details on curbside pick-up on the website.
