2023 Summer Reading Programs in Westchester

Let’s make this year the summer of reading! While we are excited for the endless list of summer adventures in and around Westchester, we also love to encourage our kids to carry on the joy of reading – even when school is out. Luckily, there are several summer reading programs in Westchester where your kids can sign up and earn points for all of the hours and/or books they read! Local libraries are also hosting special events, readings, and will have prizes based on how many books your child reads. Check out more below and happy summer reading!
