We celebrate summer at the library in a big way! We will have Reading Challenges, programs, and exciting events for all ages, all summer long, at both the Abington Free Library and the Roslyn Library.
Don’t miss Abington READS, our reading program that connects beginning readers with teen buddies to help build confidence and skills and encourage reading over the summer.
Children’s Summer Reading
Children of all ages are invited to join us as we present, “Color Our World,” for our 2025 Summer Reading Program! Children birth to pre-K will have the opportunity to complete early literacy activities and can earn up to two free books. Children entering kindergarten through grade 5 will set their own reading goals from June 22 to August 2. When they meet or exceed their goals they will receive prizes from local business as well as free books! Join us all summer for storytimes, dancing, science, music, animal presentations, book clubs, and more!
Find Children’s Summer Reading programs on our Events calendar.

Adult Summer Reading Challenges
Participate in Adult Summer Reading through Beanstack. Writing and reading reviews is a great way to see what others in your community are reading and to share your book recommendations. The programs also feature tie-ins across our collections, so patrons can discover all the things the library has to offer. Try finding a movie on Kanopy that links to the book you’re reading, borrow one of our museum passes to learn more about the non-fiction topic you’re investigating, or check out a horror book for the first time! Sign up now!
