Summer Reading Program 2026
Ninilchik Community Library is excited to launch our 2026 Summer Reading Program — Plant a Seed, Read!
First session: Wednesday, May 20th Drop in any time between 2–4pm. No registration required!
Session dates: May 20 | June 3 | June 17 | July 8 | July 22 All sessions run 2–4pm
Open to all ages and abilities. You and your child will set a personal reading goal for the 12-week program — total books or weekly reading time, whatever works best for your family.
Each session includes time to check in on progress, select new books to take home, and complete a fun art project. You don't need to stay the full two hours.
Need help finding the right books? We're happy to help with leveled book selections.
