SUMMER READING 2020

The 2020 Summer Reading Challenge Runs from Monday June 15th through Monday August 24th.

​Imagine the possibilities this summer by joining Thayer Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program.  This year’s theme is “Imagine Your Story.”
We have something for everyone — Children, Adults and Teens!

Join us for the Virtual Summer Reading Kick-Off on June 15th.  We have a Virtual Escape Room, a peek at some Fairy Gardens, Story Time and more!

This year you can register, track your reading and submit reviews online (reviews will display readers first name and last initial) using Beanstack.  There’s even a mobile app for iOS and Android!

Be sure to check the calendar to see all the programs we have planned this summer! If you want to be among the first to know about everything happening at the library, then don’t forget to subscribe to our newlsetter!
