Make a Splash with the Catch the Wave Summer Reading Program
The San Bernardino County Library is ready to make waves this summer with the launch of its annual Summer Reading Program (SRP), “Catch the Wave!” running June 8 through Aug. 2 at library branches across the county.
Readers of all ages are invited to dive into a summer packed with books, activities and shore-to-please events designed to keep minds active and imaginations swimming all season long. From toddlers to adults, participants can log reading, reel in prizes and ride the tide of discovery through free programs and hands-on experiences.
Participants can register beginning June 8 through the library’s Beanstack portal or at their local branch library.
“This year’s Summer Reading Program invites the community to surf into stories, explore new horizons and ‘seas’ the day through reading and learning,” said County Librarian Melanie Orosco. “Whether you’re flipping pages by the pool or diving into a new genre, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
Throughout the summer, library branches will host a wave of free events and educational entertainment, including:
- Live performances and interactive shows
- Family storytimes and themed programs
- Teen and adult engagement events
- Reading challenges and prize opportunities
The SRP helps prevent summer learning loss while encouraging lifelong literacy, creativity and community connection. Families are encouraged to “shell-e-brate” the season by visiting their local library and participating in programs designed to make reading part of every summer adventure.
