Children’s Summer Reading 2025

Welcome to the Sawyer Free Library’s summer reading and programming hub! Here you’ll find all the information you need about what programs are happening this summer, and how to sign up for Summer Reading 2025!

The Summer Reading Challenge runs from July 7, 2025 to August 29, 2025.

Registration for summer reading is now closed!

Kids of all ages can sign up for the Summer Reading program — we’ve even got special reading logs for toddlers!

Pick up readings logs at any of our summer programs to track your reading minutes!

All children who read (or get read to) for 500 minutes this summer will receive a prize at the end of the summer, but Topsfield Fair prize packs are only awarded to readers entering Kindergarten through 6th grade.

We’ve got a summer full of programs for children and families to enjoy!

Check out our Calendar of events,
and take a look below at what we’ve got planned for July and August!
