Summer Reading Program!

Summer Reading Program is upon us! Unlike years past we will have no in person programs. Instead we will be using an online resource to track books, provide missions to complete at home, and track rewards.

We will have fun rewards for those who reach goals at the end of the summer. This will include Mary Cheatwood dressing up as either a Princess, a Clown, or a Dinosaur if we collectively can read 1,700 books!

The missions are fun activities to do at home or outdoors that will earn you badges. Badges will earn raffle tickets for prizes at the end of the summer.

Signing up for Summer Reading Program - Registration Began May 26

This summer we will be using a program called READsquared. You can use both the website or the app found in most app stores. To register you or your child just follow the steps below. If using the app: first download the app then enter your library as Mt. Morris Public Library, IL. Click register on the next prompt. If using a web browser: visit mtmorrisreads. readsquared.com then click register at the top right corner of the page. Once in the app or website you will be guided through registration. Your age will automatically place you in the right group.

Create a user name and password that is easy to remember and follow prompts. After you have registered feel free to explore the page!

There are places to log books, write reviews, see suggestions, view and complete missions, and even play games.

New missions will become available every Monday beginning June 1. Games will unlock as certain goals are met. Feel free to contact us any time for help with READsquared.

Though the library plans to reopen for lending purposes we will not be having any in person activities this summer.

We are also working on how to include those that will not be able to use an internet based program. Keep your eyes open for more information as we work through this change.

Follow us on Facebook for more frequent updates and details about SRP.
