Wilton Library is getting everyone involved in reading this summer with its three Summer Reading programs for children, teens, and now adults, which run from Monday, June 16 through Sunday, August 24, 2025. For more details about how to register and participate in all Summer Reading programs, please visit the library’s website at www.wiltonlibrary.org.
All children and teens are invited to Level Up their reading at Wilton Library this summer! The Children’s Summer Reading Club is open to all kids through rising grade 6, and kicks off on Monday, June 16. Children will sign up on the website https://wiltonlibrary.beanstack.org/reader365 or download the Beanstack app and choose Wilton Library (CT) to register. They will keep track of the time that they spend reading and then log the number of minutes they have read online. For every 100 minutes they read, they will get a brag tag and beads for their necklace or a book. At 1500 minutes they will be a finisher. All reading counts: books, magazines, graphic novels, audiobooks--anything they want to read.
The Teen Summer Reading Club is open to all rising 6th to 12th graders, and also starts on Monday, June 16. Teens will sign up on the website https://wiltonlibrary.beanstack.org/reader365 or download the Beanstack app and choose Wilton Library
(CT) to register. They will keep track of the time they spend reading and then log the number of minutes they have read online. Badges will earn them prizes and chances in weekly drawings! All reading counts: books, magazines, graphic novels, audiobooks – anything they want to read.
New this year at Wilton Library, adults will be able to participate in the Adult Summer Reading Program, which runs from June 16 through August 24. Readers will log each book they read using paper forms that are available at both our Circulation and Reference desks, or use an online form at www.wiltonlibrary.org/adult-summer-reading. A weekly drawing will be held for gift cards to local businesses. The participant who reads the most books this summer will win the grand prize – a $50 gift card from the Wilton Chamber of Commerce.
Also on Monday, June 16 from 1 to 4 p.m., teens are invited to the program “Teen Summer Reading Kickoff: Tote Bag Decoration!” They can visit the library’s Teen Room for treats and fun, learn how to participate in the Teen Summer Reading Club, and decorate a canvas tote bag to hold all of their books. For students incoming in grades 6-12 only. One tote per participant, while supplies last. No registration necessary – teens can just drop in.
On Wednesday, June 18 at 2:30 p.m., book lovers ages 5 to adult are invited to the program “Kick Off Summer Reading with Author Veera Hiranandani.” Hiranandani, an award-winning author and a graduate of Wilton High School, will discuss her journey to becoming a published author, the inspiration for her books, from picture books to historical novels, and her writing process. Elm Street Books will sell copies of Veera
Hiranandani’s books, which she will sign after the program. A portion of the proceeds goes to Wilton Library. Registration is required.
