Summer Reading Challenge at Columbus Metropolitan Library

Public libraries are a huge resource for free and cheap events and resources in any city, but the Columbus Metropolitan Library wants to reward everyone just for reading this summer.

The Summer Reading Challenge runs from June 1 though July 31, 2024 to encourage people of all ages to read, from babies to adults.

CML Summer Reading Challenge

The program is divided into four age categories, each with different rewards and prize opportunities for 30 days of reading (15 minutes per day). 

Signups begin online on June 1. Pick up your calendar at any CML location.

Read for 15 minutes a day, and earn various prizes. You’ll get prizes for every 5 days of reading!

Pick up your prizes at your local branch by July 31st. Raffles are drawn on August 1st.
