Summer Reading Resources

The Summer Reading Program is finally here, so now is the time to get excited about all the amazing resources we have available at Pickerington Public Library! Come to the library to sign up for summer reading, get your reading records, and start reading to earn prizes at all age levels.

Our app-based reading resources and bookfinder databases are great tools for when you may want something more portable to read. Here are a few to get you started, all available with your Pickerington Public Library card:

NoveList Plus is a great resource for finding new books to read based on titles, authors and subjects you enjoy: whenever you’ve run out of reading inspiration, make NoveList your destination…after you talk with your local librarian first!

For our pre-readers, the only way they can enjoy the wonders of books is through someone else reading with them. Tumble Book Library has great read-along and read-aloud resources for our youngest readers, as well as digital and interactive books to keep them engaged and learning.

Some Tumble Book Library suggestions to get you started:

• The Librarian of Basra by Jeanette Winter is the true story of Alia Baker, an Iraqi librarian who loved books more than anything and was willing to risk her own life to save them.
• Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krause Rosenthal will show you that not everything is as it appears, and sometimes your eyes play tricks on you!

Visit our Kids page for more amazing resources for little readers!

While we all love the scent of books (or at least we librarians do), sometimes an e-book or audiobook is more manageable, especially on summer vacation! That’s why we offer Overdrive and Hoopla, two services with a wide array of digital media, all free to check out with your library card. Browse through their catalogs today and find something new to read.

We look forward to seeing you for the Summer Reading Program. Together we can Build a Better World, one book at a time.
