2025 Summer Reading Challenge Kick-Off at Oak Creek Public Library

Color Our World! Join Oak Creek Public Library in reading over the summer. This all-ages Summer Reading Challenge runs Saturday, June 14 – Saturday, August 9. Upon registration, participants will have their name added to the window mural overlooking Drexel Town Square. After reading for 15 days, participants will receive a prize (while supplies last). Prizes will be available Saturday, June 28 – Saturday, August 19, or while supplies last. Register online starting June 14 by visiting www.oakcreeklibrary.org/src. Participants will receive electronic badges as they reach reading and activity milestones. Even after the main challenge is completed, participants will still be able to continue logging their reading, writing book reviews, and doing activities throughout the summer.

Celebrate the start of the Challenge by attending the Summer Reading Kick-Off at the Drexel Town Square Farmers Market on Saturday, June 14. Attendees of all ages will be able to learn more about the Summer Reading Challenge and can grab some swag (while supplies last) at the library’s booth from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Story Time based on this year's theme, "Color Our World," will take place at 9:30 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m. This story time is geared toward children ages 4-8, with an adult, though all ages are welcome. Registration is not required, and attendees should feel free to bring a blanket to sit on.
