Summer Reading at the Thomas Crane Library

Do you need to keep track of your summer reading for school? Do you need to hand in a list of books? Are you curious to see just how much you can read this summer? Use our online summer reading site to log book titles. You can print it out for school or for yourself and you can even write reviews of the books you've read.

For an added summer challenge, check out the "Open the Window" Reading Challenge list below. Read all the picture books on the list for the Read To Me Challenge, read all the chapter books on the list for the Readers Challenge, or read the entire list for the Super Challenge and fill in one of our forms. In September we'll be having a celebration with sculptor Daniel Meyers, creator of the "Open the Window of the Imagination--Read!" sculpture in the Children's Room, who will award medals to kids who completed either or both lists.
