Montgomery County residents of all ages are invited to participate in the 2024 Summer Reading Program hosted by the county’s library system from June 2 through July 26. The free program features themed activities, prizes, and public events at all seven library branches.

From June 2 to July 26, the Montgomery County Memorial Library System (MCMLS) will hold its yearly Summer Reading Program.
Readers of all ages are welcome to enjoy a summer full of books, fun, and community events. The theme for this year, "Color Our World," encourages reading experiences that are both creative and educational.
People can keep track of the books, articles, or audiobooks they read with the Reader Zone app or a paper log that can be found at any library office.
Throughout the summer, readers who take part can get prizes. In a news release, MCMLS Library Director Janna Hoglund said, "The summer reading program gives our community a chance to take part in fun and educational activities that also help kids learn to read."
Free events for the public will be held at all seven library sites. These will include pizza parties, scavenger hunts, and other activities with a theme. Due to limited room or supplies, some events may need you to sign up ahead of time.
The program is made possible by grants from the county, neighborhood sponsors, and Friends of the Library groups. The following places have library branches:
