This summer, the Trumbull Library wants you to read beyond the beaten path by exploring new books, topics, and activities you might not have considered before! This year there are 25 reading challenges: read five different books in five different categories outlined in our program. Teens may read any book they like that fits in the genre of the challenge, so long as it is a teen or adult book. This is to encourage teens to read books that might otherwise be outside their comfort zone! Each book read equals 1 point. In addition there are 10 activity based challenges, where each completed activity equals 2 points.                  

This year everything including purchasing of raffle tickets will be done online. Under the 'raffles' tab you can use the points you earn from reading and activity missions to purchase tickets for each prize basket. 1 point = 1 ticket. 

For every 5 programs you attend over the summer, you will receive 1 free book. 

Raffle prizes will be drawn at the end of the program. 

Before completing this program please be sure to review the "Detailed rules here"

You will receive four new activities every Saturday. There are four types: Write, Sing, Play, and Talk. These are four of the five early literacy activities adults can do with their children to help them get ready to read. (Read is the other early literacy activity. You'll log your reading separately. Every 20 minutes earns you 20 Library Dollars!)

Each activity you complete earns you 10 Library Dollars that can be used at the Library Prize Store. You have until the end of the summer reading program, Sunday, August 14, to complete as many activities as you can.

This program is for ages 0-5, which covers a lot of different milestones. Some activities may be too challenging for your child. Please alter the activities as needed to better fit your child's age or abilities.

This summer, the Trumbull Library wants you to shake those tail feathers and dive into some new books, topics, and activities you might not have considered before! This year there are 25 reading challenges: read five different books in five different categories outlined in our program. Teens may read any book they like that fits in the genre of the challenge, so long as it is a teen or adult book. This is to encourage teens to read books that might otherwise be outside their comfort zone! Each book read equals 1 raffle ticket. In addition there are 10 activity based challenges, where each completed activity equals 2 raffle tickets. Attending teen programs also equals 2 raffle tickets.                       

The tickets you earn through reading challenges, activity challenges, and attending our virtual teen programs will be entered into the prize basket raffle of your choice. Anything above the 45 tickets you can earn from the reading and activity challenges will go towards our grand prize drawing - you may earn additional tickets by reading beyond what is outlined in our program only once you finish the activity and reading challenges. Tickets earned by attending programs can only be entered into the basket drawings. 

The prize baskets and grand prize winner will be drawn at the end of the summer.

***As you complete missions in READSquared, you may email summerreading@trumbull-ct.gov to inform Ms. Chelsie which raffle basket(s) you would like to enter your tickets into. Please include your name and grade in the subject line of your email – both Ms. Chelsie and Ms. Elise will be using the same email to track tickets this year. As you complete missions, your account will keep track of your number of tickets for you – when you email us to enter them into drawings, we are able to view your account and mark the number of tickets you have ‘used,’ as such, we ask you email this account only ~once a week: we can enter multiple tickets into drawings at once. Just let us know in the email how many tickets you would like to use, and which raffle(s) you wish to enter.
