Ferndale Library's 2026 Summer Reading Program

The theme of our 2026 Summer Reading Program is "Unearth a Story!" We'll be celebrating the joy of discovery that reading brings and how every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared – through books, programs, and local knowledge. 

Along with fun events for all ages, we'll ALSO have four unique READING CHALLENGES, catered to age groups: 
Early Readers (ages 0-4)
Kids (ages 5-12)
Teens (ages 13-18)
Adults (18+)



Summer Reading Kickoff is set for Saturday, JUNE 6th—12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us at the library anytime during the afternoon on June 6 for a Summer Reading Kickoff Party & Sign-Up Spree! FADL Staff can help sign up kids, teens, caregivers, families, and individual adults. You can enjoy fun indoor and outdoor activities between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, and get yourself a free scoop of ice cream from Treat Dreams. (Note: Treat Dreams will, once again, be making us a special library themed ice cream for the party!)
