Wilmette Public Library Summer Reading!
In early June, check your mailbox for your WPL Summer Reading Club information and reading logs. You can also print reading logs or pick them up at the library to get started. Read for as many minutes as you like, and all kinds of reading count: books, ebooks, comics, magazines, audiobooks, and books read by a grownup! Complete three reading logs to earn three free books!
Reporting for summer reading begins Monday, June 14. Reporting will be outside this year, making participation safe and easy! After 10 days of reading, visit to tell us about your reading and cast your vote for the Big Library Takeover. After 20 days of reading, visit us again to report more reading and pick out your free book.
The outdoor reporting station will be open Monday-Friday 10:00-12pm and 2:30-5:30pm and Saturdays 10:30-12pm and 2:00-4:30pm. The last day to turn in completed reading logs and collect your prize books will be Saturday, September 4.

SORA is available all summer is available all summer long with your D39 Google login and password. (8th graders, read quick! Your login/password are active through June only!)
Because district devices must be returned for summer, you'll need to set SORA up on a personal device. If you are using an iPad, download the free SORA app. If you are using a laptop or desktop, go to this web address: https://soraapp.com/library/wilmette39
