The 2025 Summer Reading program is almost here.
The program is designed for kids of all ages! We have participating authors with children’s picture books, early chapter books, middle grade, and YA.
The Details
- This year’s theme: Gallop Into Summer Reading
- The program runs from June 1 to Sept 1, 2025.
- Program handout
- Summer Reading Trail Map
- It’s free to join! However, we ask that you donate a book, eBook, merchandise, gift card, or another item as a prize for the kids. You’ll be responsible for mailing your prize to the winner. Please only sign up if you’re willing to send a prize.
- Winners are randomly chosen from readers who return their logs at the end of the program. There’s a chance you may not be matched with someone.
- If you’d like, you can also donate $10 to help cover the cost of supplemental program features. This is completely optional!
- Hand out reading trail maps at your summer events, post them online, share them in your newsletter, drop them off at your favorite feed store or library.
- Post about the program on Social Media using the hashtags #HorseBookSummerReading2025, #GallopIntoReading, #GallopIntoSummerReading2025, #SummerReadingProgram, and #KidsSummerReadingProgram.
