The Fairfax County Public Library Summer Reading Program encourages children and teens to read for pleasure during summer vacation. It is held in cooperation with the Fairfax County Public School system. Watch the introductory video to learn more.

• The Summer Reading Program runs through September 5.
  
  
• Preschoolers to second graders and third graders to sixth graders read 15 books. Children can have books read to them. Using our reading lists is not required. Children can read any book and record it on the reading log.
  
  

• Teens! Sign up for the library's video production workshops and enter your video in the cool clips contest! Plus, we have an essay and poetry contest.

  Students in grades 7-12 read eight books. Using our reading lists is not required. Teens can read any book and record it on the reading log.
  
  
• Completed preschool to sixth grade reading logs and teen reading logs must be turned in to your library branch by September 5 to receive a coupon book full of free and discounted prizes.
  
  
• One coupon book per reader; lost coupon books will not be replaced.
  
  
• There will be end-of-summer prize drawings for kids who finish their books. Check back here often as the prize list continues to grow throughout the summer!
