June 1 – July 26
The Eglin Community Library invites readers of all ages to join in its annual Summer Reading Program! During the months of June and July, with a kick-off party on May 31, participants of all ages can earn fun incentives and win great prizes by reaching their reading goals while participating in this great program. From early learners to elementary, teens, and adults — all age groups are encouraged to make reading a part of their adventures this summer!
The iREAD® theme for this year’s program is Level Up at Your Library — Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up at Your Library is an all ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games. Whether you’re playing with STEM concepts or gamifying your reading logs, learning to play chess or how to code video games, iREAD 2025: Level Up at Your Library reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they are a space for fun!
Participation is FREE!
Online Registration Opens: May 31
