Welcome to

Summer 2022 Reading Club

School-Aged Children & Early Literacy Programs

Join us for summer reading to read for enjoyment, learn about a topic you find interesting, and to complete school summer reading assignments.

Reading programs begin June 13 & end August 19. Join any time during that period.

Visit the library to register & pick up your folder of reading club materials.

Additional Information

Borrowing Items From the Library

You can now visit the library to borrow books for the reading program along with other items.

If you do not want to visit inside the library, you can go online to request books through the catalog at https://catalog.ccls.org/. Place the books on hold, and when you are notified they are ready, pick them up using our Door Service: When you arrive at the library, call 610-215-7277 and we will bring the books to you.

The library now has a book locker on the front porch where you can pick your books up 24/7.  Choose that method when you place your hold.

You also have access to our online catalog of e-books & e-audio books, and reading them will count toward the program.  Find those resources at https://ccls.org/305/eMaterials.

If you have questions regarding the program, please do not hesitate to contact us at 610-933-3013 x 124.
