June 16 – August 16
Level Up At Your Library
Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up at Your Library is an all-ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games. Whether you’re playing with STEM concepts or gamifying your reading logs, learning to play chess or how to code video games, iREAD 2025: Level Up at Your Library reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they are a space for fun!
Kids reading game:
Participate in the summer reading challenge beginning on June 16th. Keep track of the days you read on your gameboard for a chance to win prizes. Complete activities on the bingo board to earn fun vinyl stickers. You can track your reading online by setting up an account with READsquared. Pick up your gameboard and bonus activity bingo board at any Hamden Library location.
All Reading Counts! Listen to an audiobook or have someone read to you. Attend a library program or check out a museum pass. There are so many ways to be part of the summer reading challenge.
