This program is designed for teens ages 12 to 17 to encourage life-long reading habits. Earn raffle tickets for books you read or listen to and for attending library programs. Anything above the 60 tickets you can earn from the reading challenges, activities, and attending programs will go towards our grand prize drawing. 

(Grades K-6. Kids aged 12 can choose between Independent Readers and Teen, but can only participate in one.)

Greetings! This summer, imagine yourself a knight-in-training. Read books and complete quests to turn yourself into a full-fledged knight. You'll find your quests under "Missions" on the left.

Every Saturday, there will be four new quests for you to complete. There are four types of quests: Create, Explore, Help, and Learn. You will complete crafts and other activities to exercise your creativity, explore your world, help others, and learn new things to gain knowledge. It's important for knights to be wise, creative, brave, kind, and curious.

Earn one raffle ticket for each quest that you complete. You have until the end of the summer reading program, August 15, to complete as many quests as you can. Be sure to log your reading too! One hour of reading equals one raffle ticket. 

Once a week, email summerreading@trumbull-ct.gov with the number of raffle tickets you've earned and the letters of the prize packs you want to enter your raffle tickets in. Please include your first and last name in the email.

Good luck!
