Get ready to Rock the Books, Jeffco, and read 40 million minutes!

One week until Summer Reading 2018

The countdown is on for Summer Reading 2018! With June 1 looming fast, we’re gearing up to Rock the Books this summer, and you should be, too!

What’s new with Summer Reading 2018?

We’ve made a few exciting changes to our Summer Reading program this year, and we can’t wait to hear what you think!

  • Pre-registration now available. Register online for Summer Reading 2018 now. Then, when June 1 rolls around, start reading and logging those minutes. When you pre-register, you are eligible to pick up your starter prize first thing on June 1 at any location.
  • We’ve upped our countywide goal. Every year we set our sights on a new reading challenge and every year Jefferson County comes through with record-setting numbers. Last year, you read over 7 million minutes more than our goal (30 million). We know you’re up to the challenge of beating 40 million this year!  The Library offers many ways to read, including audiobooks, e-books and digital magazines
  • Simplified Baby Activity Tracker. Logging activities for our youngest participants is easier than ever. You no longer have to convert the number of activities into minutes. Simply enter your activities online, and the system does the work for you!
  • Teens read more! By public demand, we’ve increased the goal for teen readers. We were thrilled to be approached by our Teen Advisory Board to ask if the teen goal could be increased this year since teens were exceeding the eight hour goal by leaps and bounds across the board. This year, teen finishers read 16 hours to earn either an Elitch Gardens or Lakeside Amusement Park ticket. Teens must be present to receive their prize.
  • Updated prizes! We’ve updated our prizes across the board, including an entry for a chance to win a portrait package for babies and toddlers, and now entry to win one of three exciting movie prize packs for adults.

It's almost time to Rock the Books, Jeffco! Are you ready to read 40 million minutes? 

Special thanks to our sponsors and partners for their support of Summer Reading!
