Summer Reading Program
How to Sign Up
There are 2 ways you can sign up and log your reading activities:
If you prefer to do everything on paper:
- Stop by the Library to pick up a paper log and activity guide
- Then visit the front desk and ask a staff member to register you for ReadSquared online.
- Every time you complete a level or mission and get a secret event code, write it down in your log and activity guide and then bring it to a Library staff member to redeem your prizes.
If you like using a computer, phone, or tablet:
- Register online at dimondalelibrary.readsquared.com or using the ReadSquared app
- If you've used ReadSquared online before, your log in should still be active and all you need to do is log in to the website or app and register for this year's program.
For ease of tracking and distributing prizes, the Library uses ReadSquared for all participants, regardless of the method you use for logging your reading activities.
Who Can Participate?
Everyone is encouraged to participate! There are specialized Summer Reading Programs for each age group:
Pre-K: 0-4 years
Kids: 5-12 years
Teens: 13-17 years
Adults: 18+ years
When you register, choose the program that corresponds to your age. Each group has slightly different reading goals and missions.
There are prizes for everyone for participating and earning points.
