The Crystal Lake Public Library Summer Reading Program is for everyone! Read books and ebooks; listen to audiobooks; or listen as someone reads to you. Then record your reading minutes on a reading log (download the reading log below) or at CrystalLakeLibrary.Beanstack.org (online logging starts June 1), and earn chances to win prizes!
Everyone who completes the program will receive a book prize and a chance to win several other prizes donated by local businesses.
As always, the Summer Reading Program is open to readers of all ages – kids, teens and adults. Residents of the city of Crystal Lake AND students (and their families) who attend a school in the city of Crystal Lake are eligible to participate.
The Mensa Foundation invites young readers to discover the joy of reading through the Excellence in Reading program. By completing the challenge, participants can earn a special certificate to celebrate their accomplishment — and even receive an exclusive Excellence in Reading T-shirt!

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.
After launching in 1995, the program grew quickly. First books were only distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tennessee where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway. By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed one million books. It would prove to be the first of many millions of books sent to children around the world.
Dolly’s home state of Tennessee pledged to pursue statewide coverage in 2004 and global expansion was on the horizon. After the United States, the program launched in Canada in 2006 followed by the United Kingdom in 2007, Australia in 2013 and the Republic of Ireland in 2019.
