Summer Reading Programs for 2022 are June 1 – Aug. 31
Summer reading programs for everyone — kids, teens and adults — begin June 1 throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County.
Reading takes us on boundless journeys. This year we invite you to “chart your path” wherever you want to go, however you want to get there. Bellingham Public Library and Whatcom County Library System will distribute summer reading cards with a stepping stone design to allow readers to record their experiences. The card provides reading ideas and recommendations, but the choices are up to the reader. Anything goes!
Summer Reading Cards
Print your own Summer Reading cards at home to chart your progress. Choose from the following list:
Early Literacy (recommended for birth through 5 years)

Kids, Teen, Adult

Library Parties in the Parks
Bring your family (and your own food and beverage) and join us for a variety of fun activities including free books for ages birth – teen, sidewalk chalk, Storywalks, and games. It will be fun for children of all ages. Our thanks to the Friends of Bellingham Public Library and to WECU for participating and providing books.
