The DOD-MWR Summer Reading Program is back for another summer to help families bridge the summer learning gap while inspiring literacy and lifelong learning. Adults and children can join in and record summer reading minutes from home.

Get your library card ready to unlock a summer filled with excitement, discovery, and a world of new stories waiting to be read. Join the Summer Reading Program and get ready to level up at your library.

This year, from June 10 to August 8, track your reading on Beanstack to earn your chance at the grand prize! (Hours must be logged by 11:59 PM on August 8, and participants must be present at the SRP closing party.)

Register today at the Library or on Beanstack.

Patrons are also encouraged to read Library books, books from home, or e-books and audiobooks that can be borrowed for free from the DoD MWR Digital Library. Make sure to log your reading minutes to earn prizes. Various events and activities will be hosted all summer, so be sure to check them out.
