“Read, Renew, Repeat” is the Goodnow Library’s 2024 Summer Reading program! Join us in-person at the library for weekly programs for kids, teens and adults including book clubs, crafts, special performers and more!

Children are invited to discover their voices as musicians, advocates, inventors, writers, artists, scientists, community helpers, and performers! Fun programs and activities to get children excited about reading will continue all summer long including Summer Sweets & Science, LEGO Club, craft programs, special performers and more. Our summer reading program will conclude the evening of August 8 at our special Rolie Polie Guacamole Band & Ice Cream Party!

Children's librarians sign up new Summer Reading participants at Truck Day!

Teens are invited to come to Goodnow to check out a title or participate in our summer “reused” book program. Take a “mystery” book to keep and participate in weekly challenges. Teens may also log their reading (and listening) on Beanstack, the library’s online reading tracking website. Participate between 6/13-8/15 for the chance to win weekly gift cards – and a grand prize for a few lucky readers! A teen version of Summer Sweets & Science meets every Monday, and we’ll have other craft programs and book groups, too!

Adults are also encouraged to log their reading on Beanstack for a chance to win weekly gift cards…with the chance to win a grand prize at the end of summer!
