The Somerville Public Library in Somerville, Massachusetts, is set to kick off its 2026 Children's Summer Reading Program, beginning on June 22 and running through August 15. This initiative aims to promote reading among children during their summer break. Registration is open at all library branches, where participants will receive a Summer Reading Bingo card and a reading log to track their progress. Weekly check-ins will reward children with stickers, keychain tags, and entries into grand prize drawings. The program features a variety of engaging activities, including story times, Lego Club, Coding Clubhouse, family movie nights, arts and crafts, yoga sessions, scavenger hunts, and gaming events. Special presentations on topics such as endangered species and Mars Landers will also be included. Additionally, there will be bilingual story times offered in Spanish and Portuguese. The program culminates in end-of-summer celebrations starting August 10, which will feature an Animal World Experience presentation and final prize drawings, ensuring a fun and educational summer for all participants.
