2026 Palmer Summer Reading Program
2026-06-01 - 2026-08-01
Summer Reading is here!
There’s fun and prizes to be had, from the tall to the small, to the young and the old! There’s no age limit; there’s not even a speed limit! We’re going to have all sorts of fun! (I heard the library’s turned into a real jungle! Who knows what’s lurking there?)
From Monday, June 1 through Saturday, August 1 we will be offering exciting programs, awesome activities, incentives, and chances for cool reading prizes for all ages!
We just want you to read this summer! After all, you were going to read anyways, right? So why not get rewarded for it!

From Monday, June 1 through Saturday, August 1, any reading you do can count towards getting raffle tickets!
For every hour you read, you get a raffle ticket. Register and track your hours using Beanstack, or, we offer paper reading logs to keep track of your time. You then can assign that raffle ticket to the prize of your choice! Not big into reading? That’s okay (we’re not judging–honest!) because we have all sorts of activities that you can do to earn tickets!
All tickets must be assigned by Saturday, August 1 at 11:59PM or they are forfeit! Prizes will be awarded on Monday, August 3 after 10AM and must be picked up by August 31.
Stop by Adams Memorial Library or Caldwell Memorial Library starting Monday, June 1 to participate in summer reading!
From Monday, June 1 through Saturday, August 1 we will be offering exciting programs, awesome activities, and chances for cool reading prizes for all ages!
