Summer Reading Program 2010

Register Now!

It’s Summer!!!! And the Jersey City Free Public Library gives children the chance to enjoy summertime through the lively and fun environment of our Summer Reading Program.

This year, the annual Summer Reading Club runs from Monday, June 21st to Friday, August 13th throughout the Jersey City library system, and remains the primary summer program, where reading logs chronicle the child’s adventures with the printed page.

There are special, individual themes for Children and Young Adults (YA) to whet their appetites for a summer of reading. In keeping with Summer, going down the shore is always a treat, so Children are encouraged to “Make a Splash – READ!” And with YAs, you know they want to make anything their own, so Young Adults are encouraged to “Make Waves…READ!” YAs are those youth in the 6th, 7th, 8th grades and older, and special, and separate, programs have been arranged throughout the eight-week Summer Reading Program.

We welcome all children and YAs to the Jersey City Free Public Library for a summer of exciting reading – and of making friends and participating in fun activities! Don’t miss out!! Registration at the Main Library and your local branch library begins on Tuesday, June 1st.
