CARTERET COUNTY, NC (June 10, 2024) – Join Carteret County Public Library for a summer of reading and fun with the Adventure Begins at Your Library Summer Reading Program. This free, eight-week program will begin June 15 and continue through August 10, 2024, at all five library branch locations.

The program is split into four different age groups: preschool (ages 0 to 5), children (kindergarten to fifth grade), teens (sixth grade to 12th grade), and adults (age 18 or older). Each group will have their own reading challenges and events.

Children will enjoy themed storytimes, programs, and games, while teens can participate in crafts, workshops, movies, and more. A complete list of events for all five library branches is online on the Library’s events calendar and at www.carteretcountypubliclibrary.com.

The 2024 Summer Reading Program is designed for participants to read books, attend events, and complete missions to win prizes. Participants can track their progress by picking up a reading log from any of the library branch locations or by signing up for ReadSquared – Carteret County Public Library’s free online reading challenge platform and app. 

“The summer reading program is something we do every year to get our community reading,” said Dorothy Howell, Director of the Carteret County Public Library System. “It’s a way for us to promote literacy in a way that is fun and engaging for kids and adults alike.”
