Thomas Ford Memorial Library Summer Reading Challenge 2026 (Birth - Grade 4)
June 1-July 31
Youth Services Summer Library Challenge: Plant A Seed, Ages Birth-Grade 4
Monday, June 1 – Friday, July 31
Sign up in person at the Youth Services desk to pick up your registration packet. Plant A Seed, Read is rooted in the concept of farm-to-table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. The idea of this theme looks at the library as a community table where, instead of food, we feast on ideas. Register and participate in this fun reading challenge to win prizes. Prize distribution will begin Monday, June 15 and end on Friday, July 31.
