We are pleased to announce we also will host some unique guests during our program including Camille Acosta, Kentucky Folklife Specialist, Western Kentucky University; and Ventriloquist Doug Mickan, who will perform his show “Once Upon a Time.”

Our Summer Reading program will conclude with a foam party finale at 1 p.m. July 8.

How It Works

To participate in our Summer Reading Program, all readers must be registered. Registration can be completed in-person at the HCCPL Front Desk. The form also can be accessed online, here.

Participants will be divided into the following categories based on age:

After registration is complete, be sure to pick up a reading log to start tracking your hours. Summer Reading Logs can be collected from the HCCPL Front Desk. You also can download them and print them off at home by clicking here.

To track the hours, you read during our Summer Reading Program, color in a box on your reading log for every hour you read. You’ll receive a prize bag and a raffle ticket for the first five hours completed. For every five hours read after that, you will earn a raffle ticket. Prizes will be raffled off at the finale July 8. To claim your prize bag and raffle tickets, bring reading logs to the HCCPL Front Desk.

All reading logs must be redeemed by July 7
