Summer is here– and that means it’s time to sign up for Perrot’s Summer Reading Program for kids! You can participate (and win prizes for reading!) from Wednesday, June 24th through Friday, August 14th. The Summer Reading theme for 2026 is PLANT A SEED, READ. Our program is for kids ages 3 through 14.
Our summer reading program is in-person only. Stop by the Youth Services Wing and sign up at the Summer Reading table, which is staffed by our friendly teen volunteers. You can read on your own, be read to, or listen to an audiobook! Once you’ve read two books, you get to choose an item from our Treasure Chest. After you’ve read your fourth book, you get to pick out a FREE BOOK of your choice. And after you’ve read your seventh book, you get a certificate for a free mini milkshake from Garden Catering of Old Greenwich!
Parents, babies and toddlers ages 0-2 can also participate in Summer Reading through our Read to Me program! After you have read and logged 10 books with your child, they earn a free picture book. Please ask at the Youth Services Desk to sign up for our Read to Me Program.
After you have read your 10th, 15th, and 20th books, you can enter into our raffle to win one of these great prizes!
