How Summer
Reading Club Works
Summer Reading Club is a self-paced program
that encourages you to read throughout the
summer. If you can’t read yet, you can include
stories that have been read to you.
Featured Programs
Summer Reading Club Extravaganza
For ages 12 and under. Celebrate the end of Summer Reading Club
with a puppet show, an easy obstacle course and a cupcake. Dress up
like your favourite book character to be entered into a draw for a
bookstore gift certificate. Fun activities provided by Heroes, Inc and PISE.
Drop-in; space is limited.
Saturday, August 20, 1:00-3:30 pm | Central Branch
Step 1: Visit any branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library and pick up
a Summer Reading Club Record.
1:00-2:00 pm Travelling Puppet Show performance in the Central Branch
Community Room.
Step 2: Read for a minimum of 20 minutes every day.
2:00-3:30 pm Bring your favourite book, and carry it through an easy
obstacle course in the Central Branch courtyard. Each participant will
enjoy a cupcake and other fun activities.
Step 3: Each day, write down one thing you’ve read on your reading record
– just use one line per day so that you don’t run out of room before the end
of the summer.

weekly prize.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 to 4. Keep up the great work!
