Every summer, the Fairfax County Public Library runs a Summer Reading Program (SRP) for children up through rising twelfth grade. The purpose is to encourage children to continue reading during vacation and thus to maintain or improve their skills.
Readers may sign up at any library branch or online at the library’s website beginning on June 18. Although you can sign up at any time during the summer, you must return your completed reading log by Saturday, August 31st in order to receive a booklet with coupons from various local businesses. Although there is a limit of one booklet per child, we do encourage children to keep reading and fill out “I Kept Reading” logs.
The theme of the program for preschoolers through rising sixth graders is “Dig Into Reading.” Children must read 15 books or have 15 books read to them.
The teen program is for rising seventh grade through rising twelfth grade. Teens must read 8 books as it is assumed that their choices will be longer and more complex. The theme for the teens is “Beneath the Surface.”
Many schools have required summer reading for their students. These books may be counted for the library’s reading program. The libraries will have a copy of the FCPS summer reading lists for students to consult. If a school has a special reading list for their courses alone, libraries in that area usually keep a reference copy. Copies of the lists are distributed by the schools to students or are generally available on their websites. We also try to obtain reading lists from nearby private schools.
