Summer Reading 2026

Dear Library Patrons,

I am writing to you today, to invite you to join us for our upcoming Summer Reading Program.  All ages of children are welcome to participate in our reading program and its activities! ?

Our registration starts May 27^th, and each child will receive a “goody” bag that includes the Summer Reading Schedule, Reading Levels, and other useful information to help track your child’s reading progress. 

What is New:

This year we are changing it up a bit! Our events/activities will be moved to Thursdays at 5 p.m.  We are hoping to find a time that is easier to attend while you plan your summer; as well as to boost awareness for our community’s Farmer’s Market.  We will be offering some evening fun & games on the following Fridays to pair with our Summer Reading programs; this will also have the added benefit of exercise before the Movies in the Park start! ?

Thursday 4^th @ 5pm (Summer Reading) – Friday 5^th @ 8pm (Game Night)

Thursday 11^th @ 5pm (Summer Reading) – Friday 12^th @ 8pm (Game Night)

Sincerely,

Bern Library Staff
