TEENS

Teens sign up for the program on our digital platform ReadSquared and will receive a suggested reading list to get started in a welcome email. Paper logs are also available to print and keep track of reading.

Here’s how it works: Every time a book is read, add it to your ReadSquared account. After every 20 books, come into the library for a prize (and to check out more books!).

At 100 books, teens will get a final grand prize and certificate of completion.

You can read anything you want! Books do not have to come from the library and can be fiction, nonfiction, or graphic novels. Find ideas to get you started on our Staff Picks page!

The program is ongoing and has no end date. You can read a lot now, take a break, and pick up again later as long as you’re still in middle school or high school. 

That’s up to you! Here’s some approximations based on how much you read:

• 1.5 books per month = About 5 ½ years
• 2 books per month = About 4 year
• 1 book per week = Less than 2 years
