The 2023 Summer Reading Program sign-ups are open now! Come by the library to sign-up and get your free sign-up bag or fill out the registration form below and we will hold your bag until you make it to the library! The theme this year is: All Together Now and sign-ups are open now! Summer reading helps kids keep their brains active and they enter school in the fall ready to learn and ready to succeed.

How the program works: Kids of all ages & abilities can participate. Kids may register anytime during the program but must be registered before earning prizes. The first 100 to register will receive a free goody bag. Prize tickets are earned by checking out & reading books, completing mini book reviews, and attending programs. There will be 7 free weekly Story Time programs, during which we read, visit with local community helpers, create crafts, or play games & have a treat. Registered participants will be invited to the 8th program, which is a celebration party held at the city park!
Sponsor A Summer Reader – Last summer, 116 children, ages 0 to 17, participated in our summer reading program. Of course, providing this kind of quality program costs money, but participants and their families are never charged a fee for any part of the program and all children are welcome and encouraged to participate. You can help the library present such a valuable program by sponsoring one or more of our Summer Readers! Each sponsorship is just $10 and provides a summer reader with all the fun the program has to offer! If you would like to be a Sponsor, please send donations to: Meadows Valley Public Library, P.O. Box 436, New Meadows, ID 83654, or you can drop your donation at the library. Your donation may be tax deductible. Thanks for your help!
Adults and young adults can participate in Summer Reading at the Meadows Valley Public Library, too! Registered readers ages 16 & up can enter our drawing for a brand new: Local Gift Certificate Bundle Worth $100+
Readers will get one entry for each book they read & review (including digital & audio books). The book review form is quick & simple to complete and paper copies are available at the library or can be found on the library’s website! One winner will be chosen by random drawing at 3:30pm on Wednesday, July 26th! You do not need to be present to win and the winner will be notified to pick up their prize at the library.
