Kids' Summer Reading Club 2022

Join the Kids' Summer Reading Club (SRC) at the Port Moody Public Library! This free, fun program keeps your readers reading all summer long. By participating in the Kids' SRC, your kids will be able to discover new books, get awesome reading recommendations, participate in fantastic programs, and earn a medal in an exciting ceremony!

This year's theme is "All Together Now!"

Registration starts June 1

You can pick up an SRC package from the Library’s Information Desk any time after June 1. The package will have everything that you will need for the SRC including the reading record, weekly stickers, a bookmark and more!

How does the Kids' Summer Reading Club work?

Step 1: Pick up your print SRC package from the Library

Stop by the Library's Information Desk to pick up your SRC package. The package will have everything you need for the club: a reading record, weekly stickers, and a bookmark. You do not need to come to the Library every week for your stickers – they are included in your package.

Step 2: Start your reading!

For every day that your reader reads for at least 15 minutes, colour in one of the bubbles in the reading record. For every seven bubbles filled in, your reader gets to choose a sticker and add it to their reading record.

If a reader completes 15 minutes of reading for 50 days, they get a reading medal!

Step 3: Come Together!

Readers of all ages can participate in free programs all summer long! We will have fantastic family fun in the Library including coding, Minecraft, a Reading Campout, and drop-in crafting and maker programs. A full listing of our programming can be found on our online calendar.

Join us for the following drop-in programs:

Curiosity Club

Free, drop-in activity for school-age children. Every day will be a new chance to learn something new. It could be coding, crafting or even hands-on history.

Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
July 4 to August 12
4-5pm 

Family Fun at the Library

Drop-in fun for preschoolers (or the young at heart!). Children can make crafts, design their own buttons, play a banana piano and more! Please note that the Tuesday and Saturday program in the same week will be identical activities.

Summer Reading Club Activity Bags

You can pick up your bag throughout the week.

Scavenger Hunts

Search for the pictures in the Children’s Area and enter to win a prize!

A new scavenger hunt available every Friday

Step 4: Receive a Reading Club medal.

Readers are eligible for their Reading Club medal when they’ve completed 50 days of reading. They can receive their medal at a fancy SRC Medal Ceremony in the Inlet Theatre on August 27 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. If you are unable to attend the ceremony, medals will be available at the Library’s Information Desk starting August 28.
