Chrisman Public Library will start their Summer Reading Program, entitled “Level Up at Your Library”, on June 2, 2025 and will run through August 8, 2025.  Children will check out books, in their reading level, complete a book log, and will complete a short form about the book to be eligible to win prizes and enter into the drawing for the gift card.

This is open to Grades K-12 and adults.  There are three steps for all the children.  

STEP 1:  Each K-3 child will have to read or be read to for 200 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments, to win a prize.  Children entering grades 4-12 will have to read 500 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments to win a prize.  

STEP 2:  Each K-3 child will have to read or be read to for another 200 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments, to win a second prize.  Children entering grades 4-12 will have to read for another 500 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments, to win a second prize.  

STEP 3:  Each K-3 child will have to read or be read to for another 200 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments, to win a third prize.  Any child entering into grade 4-12 will have to read another 500 minutes, books in their reading level, in 10-minute increments, to win a third prize. 

The Summer Reading Logs are available only at the library.  

Once a book is completed, there is a book slip that the children will complete and bring in when they return their book.  Each slip turned in will enter the child into a drawing for an Amazon gift card.  There will be three drawings – grades K-3, 4-8, and 9-12.  

The library will keep charts, K-3 and grades 4-12, so the children may check their progress.  It will be fun to see which group reads the most!
