Summer reading banner with cartoon books

Welcome! To get started, stop by any WCLS branch for your Summer Reading card. Or print a card at home via the links below.

Each week, six Summer Reading activities are released. Pick up the list of the weekly activities at your library or find the list on this page. Complete four activities to collect that week’s sticker. Collect all six stickers to receive a completion button.

Adults who finish their card can enter to win a prize. (Readers 18 and younger who signed up for Summer Reading at our kickoff parties were able to choose a book to keep forever.) Thanks to our sponsors — Whatcom County Library Foundation, Whatcom Together and Peoples Bank — for funding our Summer Reading incentives.

Our Summer Reading program ends Aug. 1. Thanks for reading with us this summer!
