Once Upon a Summer: Summer Reading 2026

Get ready for a summer of fun and adventure with help from the library!


Readers 0-18 can boost reading confidence, explore new interests, grow their vocabulary and build a lifelong love of reading by participating in the Summer Reading program.


June 1 Through July 31

Starting June 1, visit your favorite Arapahoe Libraries location to pick up your Summer Reading activity guide and a book to keep (while supplies last).


Collect Your Summer Reading Activity Guide

Find events and activities at the library and online all summer long. Visiting the library can help get you one step closer to completing the activity guide.


Visit a Creation Station 

Each library will provide fun, self-guided Summer Reading activities for kids of all ages at our Creation Stations. You might even learn a new craft.


Complete Activities at Home

Already have summer plans? Starting June 1, librarians at Arapahoe Libraries will share a list of resources for all ages, with activities that can be completed at home or online.
