Reading Pays Story Time

Every summer, kids from pre-k to High School can sign-up for our Summer Reading program. This year’s theme is Unearth a Story. For 2026, stop by Solvay Library anytime between June 29 and August 23 to have a staff member sign you up and give you your Summer Reading Kit, which comes with your first book you can keep! Every five books you read you enter a new Summer Reading Level and receive a prize. The five levels are Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Pterodactyl and Velociraptor. Just because you reached the top level, don’t stop recording your reading because our top reader will be getting the grand prize and title of Solvay Library’s T-Rex Reader . At the end of the summer, everyone who recorded at least one book will have a chance for great prizes from local businesses.

Dan the Snakeman, the MOST, Rosamond Gifford Zoo and Funky Town Comics and Vinyl’s Library Comic Con all return this year. Plus, an amazing lineup of guest readers for our 10:15 story time every Tuesday!

Keep checking in for different programs we will be holding at the library or digitally on our website and Facebook page. We will also be regularly posting different projects and activities you can do from home all summer!

Yes! You CAN count eBooks in the Summer Reading Program. You can download them for free from the Libby App. Look under the “Kids & Teens” section. Did you know you can read them on your smart phone or any tablet?
