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.
Sign up for our bi-weekly E-mail Newsletter updates to get all of the details!
Children’s Summer Reading
Children of all ages are invited to join us as we present, “Unearth A Story” for our 2026 Summer Reading Program! Join us all summer for storytimes, dancing, science, music, animal presentations, book clubs, and more.
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 21 to August 15. When they meet or exceed their goals they will receive prizes from local business as well as free books!
Registration opens June 1. Don't miss our Annual Summer Reading Kick Off Party on June 22!
Teen Summer Reading
Teens entering grades 6-12 are invited to join the Library for our Summer Reading Challenge! Download the Beanstack app or click this link to get started. Log reading, attend programs, and you can win prizes! Plus, earn free books all summer long.
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!
