Remember to check out our Adult, Teen and Preschool Summer Reading Clubs, too! It's a fun way to sharpen your skills and start out the new school year on the right foot. Don't know what to read? Check out the reading lists below or ask a librarian!

The 2011 Summer Reading Club begins June 9th and ends August 6th. Prizes will be awarded while supplies last. Prizes were generously donated by the Friends of the Upper Arlington Public Library. If you have any questions regarding the summer reading club, ask a librarian at your local branch of the UAPL or call us at 486-9621



Summer Reader Icon It's never too early to explore reading! Preschool children are invited to join a special summer reading program where they can earn prizes for being read to or when their caregivers use "Smart Start" skills. "Smart Start" skills boost the value of your reading time—making sure your child is ready to read and learn! This year's prizes include a FREE Book for completing 5 hours, and a final prize of a Summer Reading Yard Sign and a chance to win a LeapFrog Leapster for finishing 10 hours. Keep reading and earn additional chances each time you complete five hours.
Summer Reader Icon This summer, "Explore The World" when you join the Summer Reading Club at the UAPL. Earn prizes for keeping track of the amount of time you spend reading (or are read to). This year's prizes include a commemorative patch at 5 hours, a FREE Book for reading 10 hours, and a Summer Reading Yard Sign for completing the program at 15 hours. We will also have a Grand Prize drawing at the end of the summer for a Nook E-Reader! You are automatically entered into this drawing when you read 15 hours. You can earn more chances for every additional 5 hours you read this summer through the "Read-On!" Program. So go ahead—explore and start reading!
Summer Reader Icon "You are here" this summer at the UAPL. Join our summer reading program for teens and earn chances to win great prizes every time you read three hours. Weekly drawings include gift cards to some of your favorite places: Chipotle, Target, AMC, and Barnes and Noble to name a few. Teens completing 15 hours will automatically be entered into a Grand Prize drawing for an Nook E-Reader!
Summer Reader Icon There is a summer reading program for everyone. If you read a book and submit a review, you are entered in weekly drawings for prizes and the Grand Prize drawing for a Nook E-Reader. Registration is easy and you can sign up online or at the library.
