2025 Summer Reading Program

Get ready for a claw-some summer of reading at the library! Join La Porte County Public Library's Summer Reading Program and explore books that add color to your world all summer long.
For every hour you read, you'll earn a token to play in the library's claw machine! Plus, for every 10 books you check out, you'll earn another token. The more you read and check out, the more chances you’ll have to win cool prizes!
It’s the perfect way to have fun, try new stories and beat the summer heat. Grab your book list, start clocking those reading hours and see what prizes you can win!
Happy reading!
