Reading Fun for Kids, from Canada's Public Libraries

TD Summer Reading Club

The TD Summer Reading Club 2022- Kids can either register in person to receive their bilingual print materials or online to create a digital notebook to record their literacy activities. 

Who? Children 12 years old and under may join. Even babies! 

When? The TD Summer Reading Club runs from June 3 to August 27, 2022. The OFFICIAL launch is Saturday, June 18 and will be celebrated with a StoryWalk® in the Lions Civic Gardens! 

Where? Starting June 3, visit your local KFPL branch to register. You can also register online through KFPL or the official TD SRC site.    

Why? The SRC is a free bilingual program that provides fun ways to exercise your brain during the long break. Read what you love and develop new skills!

Kids will be able to:

  • Read ebooks
  • Take part in weekly trivia
  • Print colouring sheets
  • Write jokes
  • Write comics
  • Watch author workshops
  • Write stories
  • Review books

Are SRC materials accessible to children unable to interact with print materials?

Yes, some books will be available in alternate formats. TD is working with CELA to ensure access for as many participants as possible. Read more about accessibility on the TD SRC website or contact Janice at jfinkle@kfpl.ca for information.

Need Some Motivation?

Just by registering, you're eligible to win a prize! A random draw ($50 Indigo gift card) will be done from all TD SRC registrants in June, July, and August. 

To obtain a ballot for the grand prize draw ($100 Indigo gift card), children must fully complete their reading log notebook.  Notebooks are used to keep track of materials (recipes, instructions, books, magazines, comics, etc!) read or listened to.  However, feel free to add your own creative take too!
