About the BC Summer reading club
Summer reading club happens every summer at every public library in BC. The club is open to children ages 0 to 12 (grade 7) and is free to join! BC SRC strives to promote literacy by encouraging kids to read over the summer, keeping their skills fresh for the fall. This year's theme is "Under the Sea" with artwork by Hayley Lowe. If you're unable to join us at the kickoff party, come by the children's department to grab your log, or register and track your reading online, beginning late June.
