Even though your summer reading programs may be winding down, there is one last chance for your community to participate in a national summer reading challenge. Second Lady Usha Vance is challenging children in grades K-8 to read 12 books of their choice between June 1 and September 5. Here’s how the program works:

• Families can print off or download this fillable reading log.
• Fill in the titles and authors of 12 books that a child reads between June 1 and September 5.
• Send in the logs by September 5, 2025

If you would like to promote this program more broadly in your community, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has gathered promotional resources.
