This sticky, humid weather makes it hard to believe that Summer Reading is over! This year, kids and teens all over the city of Philadelphia explored, created, and, of course, read a ton of great books! We had a great time and we hope you did too! We truly appreciate all the volunteers, parents, and educators who made this summer so “wonder”-ful.

Speaking of wonder ... Did you get a chance to try one of our Wonder Activites at your neighborhood library? These fun, engaging, hands-on activities are themed around discovery and imagination.  Even though Summer Reading is over, you can still explore one of our eight Wonder Activities—like Mad Hatter Card Games or Balloon Racers. They’re available here. 

Miss Summer Reading already? No worries—there is still time to participate in Summer Reading Online at the Free Library of Philadelphia! Read and review your books and each review you log until August 31 earns an entry into an online prize drawing.  Find out more here. 

We hope you had a wonderful summer. Don't forget to visit us throughout the year and tell us about what you've been reading!
