This summer, Shreve Memorial Library is encouraging patrons of all ages to "Plant a Seed: Read” during the library’s annual Summer Reading Program.
This summer, Shreve Memorial Library is inviting children, teens and adults to Plant a Seed, Read! as part of the library’s annual Summer Reading Program.
Throughout the summer, library patrons of all ages are invited to visit the library to discover books and amazing programs to grow new skills, sprout new interests, and let their love of reading bloom.
Pre-registration for the Summer Reading Program opens on Monday, May 11, and the program runs Monday, June 1 through Friday, July 31.
The 2026 iREAD theme, Plant a Seed, Read!, provides a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection and is rooted in the concept of farm-to-table.
As farms grow food to nourish the body, libraries grow ideas to nourish the mind. Both food and stories form connections with family, culture, economy and ecology.
Plant a Seed, Read invites library patrons to feast on new ideas and experiences through reading.
The Plant a Seed, Read Summer Reading Program is open to all ages. Library patrons can participate by logging minutes read, attending library programs, and completing fun challenges.
Children and teens will earn “Book Bucks” redeemable for fun prizes for every 20 minutes read.
Those who read at least 300 minutes throughout the summer and complete the Summer Reading Program challenge will receive a variety of completion prizes and entries toward Summer Reading Program raffle drawings, featuring prizes such as Plant a Seed, Read! tumblers, mugs, artwork, gift cards, book bags, educational toys, and more.
Shreve Memorial Library patrons can sign up for the Plant a Seed, Read Summer Reading Program beginning Monday, May 11 via the library’s Beanstack site.
The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages. Those who register will receive a registration bag complete with reading log, bookmarks, seed packet, and other pertinent information while supplies last.
Participants can begin logging time on Monday, June 1, and have until Friday, July 31 to log their hours read.
From June 1 to July 31, Shreve Memorial Library branches will host exciting, engaging and interactive programs to accompany the Plant a Seed, Read! theme.
Performers for this year’s Summer Reading Program include DAT Does the Trick, Didgeridoo Down Under, Geebo the Clown, Johnette Downing, Ladychops, Little Builder Storytime, Mitch the Magician, Rick Kelley, Steve’s Snaketuary, The Dinosaur Experience, The TMM Project, and Walter B. Jacobs Memorial Nature Park.
In addition, Shreve Memorial Library will host several hands-on workshops with the Clayground, Louisiana Urban Gardening Initiative, Whitney Tates, The Floral Co., Amber Jurgensen, Chef Sheila Saunders, and the SML Make & Go.
All programs and performances are free and open to the public.
