SUMMER READING 2025 KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS

Kids Summer Reading

May 19 - August 3 (Ages 0-12) Starting on May 19, come by the Homewood Public Library’s Children’s Department or visit our website at homewoodpubliclibrary.org/sr to sign up for summer reading. Once signed up, you’ll receive a calendar reading log to track each day you read or listen to an audiobook and a free book at the Friends Bookstore! Bring your log to our Children’s desk, and for every 3 days you mark off, you will earn an entry for our monthly drawings. A handful of winners will be picked on July 1 and August 4.

Teen Summer Reading

May 19 - August 3 (Ages 12-18) Sign up online beginning May 19 at homewoodpubliclibrary.org/sr. After signing up you will be assigned to one of four houses. For every three books or audiobooks you check out inperson or online, you earn a chance to enter the weekly drawing for a gift bag. You’ll get a reading list too, and each book read or listened to counts for one entry! Each entry is a point for your house. The house with the most points wins the year. Entries will be kept throughout the Summer, so each one will have a chance to win the grand prize drawing on August 4.

Adult Summer Reading

May 19 - August 3 Sign up online at homewoodpubliclibrary.org/sr. For every three books or audiobooks you check out in-person or online, you earn a chance to enter the weekly drawing for a gift bag! Each book read or listened to also counts for one entry. Entries will be kept throughout the Summer and the top participants will be eligible to win our grand prizes! Check out the website for a suggested reading list, a fun art quiz, a list of art-themed summer programs and an adult scavenger hunt in conjunction with the Birmingham Museum of Art!
