1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a reading challenge for kids from birth until they enter kindergarten. Read a book—any book!—or listen to an audiobook with your child. You can even read the same book more than once and count it each time. Earn a prize for every 100 books you complete. Keep going until you reach 1000 or your child starts kindergarten, whichever comes first. But don’t stop reading!
Keep track of books read at home, in daycare, or with other friends and family. You can reach 1000 books in a little under three years by reading just one book a day! Earn free ice cream at Stonington Ice Cream Company from June-August when you visit the library and show us your progress. Sign up here.

SPL is supersizing the summer reading challenge! Read books all year round for the chance to win prizes, and over the summer—June to August—readers can earn free coffee at 44 North (adults) or free ice cream at Stonington Ice Cream Company (kids and teens). Readers have a whole year to complete as many squares as possible, starting June 1, 2022 and running through May 31, 2023.
Teens and adults can earn a chance to win a $25 Blue Hill Books gift certificate for each BINGO—horizontal, vertical or diagonal line—they complete. Blackout the whole card and be entered to win a $100 Blue Hill Books gift certificate. Sign up here.
Kids in grades K-8 get two bingo cards: one for summer (June to August) and one for the school year (September to May). It works the same as for teens & adults but with more opportunities to win. Earn the chance for a $20 Out on a Whimsey Toys gift certificate for each BINGO line. Blackout the whole card and be entered to win a $50 Out on a Whimsey Toys gift certificate. Winners will be drawn at both the end of summer and the school year. Readers who blackout both bingo cards can pick out any one book ($25 or under) for the library to buy them. Sign up here.
