The Library’s annual summer reading program, Summer Read SF 2014, open to readers and pre-readers of all ages, officially opens on May 31 and will run through Aug. 11, offering prizes, special free weekly programs at every neighborhood library, and even college scholarships. 

Signing up has never been easier, through a neighborhood library, bookmobile service or online at sfpl.org/summerread.

All reading counts toward the goal, including books, magazines, e-books, audiobooks and online reading.

Children through age 12 who read for 10 hours (or are read to) are eligible to receive a durable Summer Read SF Book Bag. Adults and teens who sign up, track their time and read 30 hours or more are winners, and also will receive the Summer Read SF Book Bag.

In addition, all participants are eligible to enter a weekly raffle, to win prizes including passes to San Francisco museums, sporting events and attractions.
 
This year’s Summer Read promotion includes interactive game boards for children, teens and adults that encourage reading and allow readers to track their prize progress via stickers and stars.
