(Joplin, MO) – Joplin Public Library (JPL) is excited to present their annual all-ages Summer Reading Program from May 27 to July 20, with the theme “Color Our World.” Summer Reading is a free program designed to keep the public of all ages reading, learning, and creating this summer. Participants are invited to track their reading and complete fun activities to earn prizes!
No Library card is required to participate in the Summer Reading Program; however, for the fifth year, the Joplin Public Library is extending the offer of a free Summer Reading Library card to everyone! No matter your age, or where you live, everyone is eligible3 for a free JPL card to be used for the duration of Summer Reading. This allows participants to check out physical items from the Library, including books, DVDs, and more. The card can also be used to access the Library’s digital resources. As always, Joplin Public Library cards are always free for in-city residents of Joplin. Simply bring a recent piece of mail and your photo ID to the Library to register for your card.
Another aspect of the Summer Reading Program is fun, educational, and theme-based Library-hosted events. Summer events include many of the Library’s regular programs and a variety of special events for children, teens, and adults. Find the Library’s comprehensive calendar of activities here.
Registration for the Summer Reading Program begins in the Library on Tuesday, May 27, and goes throughout the months of June and July, ending on July 29. Sign up any time within those dates to start the fun!
