The Reading Patch Club is an exciting year-round reading program especially for kids in preschool through 8th grade.

Three- to five-year-olds can earn four colorful patches by reading 50 books per patch. Stop by the Youth Services Desk to pick up a Preschool Reading Patch Club log or download yours and print it at home. Select from picture books and easy nonfiction from our Good Books lists for 2-3 and 4-5 year-olds, or ask a librarian for recommendations. Then, when you've finished reading 50 books together, bring the completed log back to the Library to collect a patch!

Students in kindergarten through 8th grade can earn patches for reading ten books in a genre. Check out the current Reading Patch Club genres (and the patches, too!)...

Stop by the Youth Services Department to pick up a log or download the log and print it at home or school. Then, when you've finished reading ten books in a genre, bring your completed log back to the Library to collect your patch!
