We’re excited to announce that the US 2026 Library Packages are now live!  

What Are Summer Reading Programs: 

Themed library activities designed to encourage people of all ages, particularly children and teens, to read during the summer months. These programs help prevent the "summer slide" by maintaining and enhancing literacy skills, but they also promote a love of reading through exciting community events… that’s where we come in!  

 

Imagine Arts Academy programs bring fun and learning to libraries, while also supporting library staff with hassle-free, reliable options that make planning easy. 


Why Should I Participate in Summer Reading Programs: 

  • Extra revenue in the summer months in the workshop and/or event AOBs. 
  • To establish/maintain your brand as a premier community service provider. 
  • To extend your outreach and visibility. 

We have developed assets and content recommendations for the below organizations in the US, read below to find out more and click the links to check if your state participates.
