Sign up for our Annual
Summer Reading Challenge
Adventure Awaits at Your Miami-Dade Public Libraries!
Read for fun and win prizes this summer by signing up for our Summer Reading Challenge! Every 30 minutes of reading or listening to a book gets you an entry into the prize drawing at the end of the challenge. Attending library programs and events earns you even more chances to win a great prize!
The Summer Reading Challenge is a great way for participants of all ages to read, learn and engage with their library and community. And a bonus for students: reading helps prevent the “summer slide,” the loss of knowledge and academic gains made during the previous school year – giving them a head start as they enter the next grade.
Open to all ages.
Access thousands of titles on your computer, mobile device and through the MDPLS mobile app.
Explore a list of eBooks and audiobooks for students K‑12 available through Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Free tutoring from certified teachers available at the library during summer – and all year long.
Enjoy a collection of fun Summer Reading-themed games, activities, articles and more available through NewsBank.
Search through hundreds of Library programs for all ages, summer events, storytimes and much more!
