From Dormont Library:
Dormont Library’s Summer Reading Program for 2026 runs from Saturday, June 20 through Saturday, August 15. This year’s theme for all ages is “Unearth a Story”, focusing on archaeology, paleontology, and geology.
Join the Reading Challenge and win prizes just for reading!
Adult readers need to read 3 books during Summer Reading to complete the challenge—for every 3 books you read to a maximum of 25, you’ll get a candy bar and raffle ticket, with a bonus candy bar and ticket at 25. The raffle prize is a gift card for a local store, and the drawing will be held after the end of the program in August.
Children and young adults need to read 5 books during Summer Reading to complete the challenge. For very young children, listening to someone else read a book also counts. At 5 books read, each participant will receive a completion certificate. Readers can continue earning milestone prizes for every 5 books read, to a maximum of 50.
Anyone who reads 50 books will receive a special certificate for their accomplishment.
Books read as part of the challenge should be checked out from Dormont Public Library, but this is not a requirement. All books read as part of the challenge should be at an appropriate reading level
As always, we have a lineup of Summer Reading themed programs for all ages. A few will be highlighted here; take a look at the full schedule at https://dormontlibrary.org/dormont-library-summer-reading-program-2026-june-20-august-16/ for all the details.
Very Important Note: Registration is required for all programs for adults and children, so that we can have sufficient supplies and table space for programs. Register for all programs online, calling 412-531-8754, or at the front desk.
