Summer Reading Club

Children’s Summer Reading Club

Summer Reading Club is a free program that encourages children to continue reading over the summer break by offering fun and educational enrichment activities. Generously sponsored by the United Way of Whiteside County, SRC is open to children entering preschool through 8th grade. Registration is REQUIRED. 

May 2024 Odell Outreach2024’s Summer Reading Club theme is “READ RENEW REPEAT.” This year is all about conservation and taking care of our earth, whether that’s in the national parks, the oceans, or even in our own backyard! Like last year, materials for an art project, science experiment, etc. will be available for pickup at the beginning of each week. In addition, we have a Story Walk, BINGO board, and a few other surprises planned to keep your readers active!  The first day for pickup will be Monday, June 10th with new to-go activities over 5 weeks through the week of July 8th. Readers have the chance to win some fabulous prizes and each child will take home free books at the end of the summer! A full schedule will be announced in June!

Help your child’s mind stay sharp this summer and sign up today!

In an effort to reduce paper waste, we have gone completely digital with our registration. If you need assistance, call us at 815-772-7323 or email krider.odell@gmail.com.

  • Registration deadline is Saturday, June 1st so that we have enough time to order and prepare materials.
