Summer Reading Challenge
Be part of the library community and make reading part of your summer.
Each summer, the Laramie County Library System invites children, teens, and adults to take part in the Summer Reading Challenge—a fun, flexible way to stay engaged, explore new stories, and enjoy reading all season long. Whether you’re a lifelong reader, a budding bookworm, or simply looking for a fun way to enrich your summer, the challenge offers something for everyone.
Participation is free and open to readers of all ages.
