Reading Programs this Summer!!

Saturday, June 13th and ends on Saturday, August 8

Who can sign-up?
Kids ages birth to 13 sign up at their local branch or bookmobile and record the amount of time they spend reading or being read to by someone else.

YOUR LIBRARY IS THE PLACE TO VISIT ALL SUMMER LONG! Visit us often for weekly branch raffles and special programs.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER? You read books and trees get planted! This summer we are teaming up with Friends of the Urban Forest to plant street trees in San Francisco. Kids completing their eight hour summer reading log will earn a grand prize AND credits to help purchase these trees.

For Ages 13-18

San Francisco Public Library’s Cool It! Green Teen Summer Read program lets you read and volunteer for the environment, and win prizes! Each 15 hours of volunteering or reading that you complete will qualify you for eco-friendly prizes and a chance at winning a bike, and iTouch, Macbook, or other fantastic grand prizes!

If you choose to volunteer as well as or instead of reading to make up your hours, our environmental organization partners include Friends of the Urban Forest, Golden Gate National Recreation Area and SF Environment.

You must be age 13-18 to register.

Teen Summer Read runs from June 12th to July 24th.
