Kids Summer Reading

Welcome to Summer Reading 2024!

This summer we will Read, Renew, Repeat!

On June 10th, open up the Summer Reading packet your child received at school or from the Bookmobile. If your child is homeschooled, younger than 5, or didn’t receive a sign-up packet, stop by any Tillamook County Library branch to pick one up. These packets include a BINGO activity sheet, general instructions on how to complete each activity, and all the needed components to complete the program. Also included is a schedule of our summer programs for kids. Make sure to find and fill out the registration card in the packet and return it to your local library branch. Once the registration card is returned, your child will get to choose a free book!

Please note: children ages 0-11ish are eligible for the Children's Summer Reading program; if your child is 11 and going INTO 6th grade they will need to sign up for the teen program.

To participate in Summer Reading, help your children complete the activities on their BINGO sheet. If your family is unable to complete an activity, you can check off that BINGO square by reading: 30 minutes (ages 7-11) or 3 books (ages 0-6).

Summer Reading 2024 BINGO Sheets

• BINGO for children 0-6

• BINGO for children 7-11

Children can choose prizes as they complete BINGO rows and columns, or they can hold onto their sheets and choose prizes all at once at Prize-A-Palooza on Friday, August 2nd and on Saturday, August 3rd. With a completed BINGO sheet, at Prize-A-Palooza you can earn a total of 5 free books, 5 treasure chest choices, a free t-shirt, a goody bag (Prize-A-Palooza only), and an invitation to the End-of-Summer-Reading Party at the Tillamook Main Library on Saturday, August 17th, with guest star Mo Phillips and his band! At the End-of-Summer-Reading Party we'll have pizza, cake and lots of chances for prizes!

Every Thursday at the Tillamook Main Library, we will be hosting a variety of performances at 2:00pm. Performances at the Tillamook County Library branches will vary, please check the schedule below. Please note: all Tillamook County Library’s will be closed Thursday, July 4th, so the performance at the Tillamook Main Library that week will be on Wednesday, July 3rd at 2:00pm after the movie.
