2022 BPL Fund Summer Reading Splash

Every year, young patrons throughout the city of Boston join the Summer Reading program at the Boston Public Library (BPL) by logging online or visiting their local branch. Children and teens are encouraged to choose from librarian-curated reading lists and participate in hands-on activities that will encourage them to make connections between their books and the real world.
This year’s theme, Oceans of Possibilities, will have young readers taking part in workshops and events aimed at deepening their love of learning. Your gift will support dynamic programming across the BPL’s Central Location and its 25 branches, as well as free take-home materials such as craft kits and books to help build children’s at-home libraries.
Help make a splash and prevent the summer slide!
