Summer Reading Challenge

This summer, thousands of readers across Laramie County joined us to unearth stories, explore new ideas, and discover where reading could take them.

Thank you to everyone who read, participated in a program, joined a group, took on the challenge, or encouraged someone else along the way. Together, you made this an incredible summer of reading and discovery.

Look What We Accomplished Together

5,609 readers registered for the Summer Reading Challenge, a 4.8% increase over last year.

2,816 readers participated as part of 54 groups, bringing friends, families, classrooms, and communities together through reading.

1,214 Super Readers reached 50 days of reading, and 484 made it all the way to 75 days.

And together, Summer Reading Challenge participants logged an incredible 225,555 cumulative days of reading.

Every one of those days represents time spent with a story, learning something new, exploring an interest, or simply enjoying a good book. Thank you for making reading part of your summer.

See You Next Summer

The Summer Reading Challenge may be over, but there are always new stories to discover. We hope you’ll join us again next summer, when Mysteries Await at Your Library®.

Read for at least 20 minutes each day and track your progress throughout the summer.

Any reading counts, including:

• Books
• Audiobooks
• Comics and graphic novels

• Reading aloud with someone

Read for 25 days to complete the challenge and continue reading to reach additional milestones throughout the summer.
