Step into a “Realm of Stories” with Loudoun County Public Library’s (LCPL) Summer Reading Program beginning Saturday, June 14. All community members are invited to sign up online and track their progress at library.loudoun.gov/SRP.

This year’s fantasy-themed program is packed with nine weeks of free, family-friendly events and activities that promote the joy of reading and library use throughout the summer. All registrants can pick up a complimentary weekday child’s pass to Great Country Farms at any branch.

The program is designed for all ages and reading levels, with different sets of challenges tailored for pre-readers, elementary schoolers, teens and adults. Those who complete 10 challenges by Saturday, August 16, will earn a free book and two tickets to select Washington Nationals games (while supplies last).

After participants mark their challenge activities complete online, they will be automatically entered into a raffle. This year, in addition to gift baskets for each age group, there will be four ultimate grand prizes: a Nintendo Switch 2, a Dungeons & Dragons bundle, a $300 gift card to Tuscarora Mill or a one-year subscription to CrunchLabs. Bonus activities are available for those who wish to earn an extra raffle entry.

“We’re excited to expand our prize offerings to appeal to different interests, as this program truly is for everybody,” said Susan VanEpps, Division Manager of Programming and Community Engagement. “In your online account, be sure to indicate which grand prize you’d like should you win!”

Headline events will take place at all LCPL branches as well as two local venues, with some weeks featuring up to eleven live performances across the county. This year’s lineup includes exciting new acts such as storyteller Dino O’Dell and the princesses of Enchanted Empowerment, thanks to generous support from the Loudoun Library Foundation.
