2025 Teen Summer Reading Challenge: Hidden Gems
June 9 – September 2
Treasure awaits! This year’s Teen SRC theme is Hidden Gems.
This theme is all about discovering new things, going off the beaten path, and sharing your secret faves with others.
Complete as many challenges as you can and win prizes as you go.
How it works:
-
Starting June 9, pick up a Teen Summer Reading Challenge pamphlet at your local NVDPL branch and complete challenges throughout the summer.
-
Choose your 9 favourite challenges, one for each week of the Summer Reading Challenge. (If you want to do the remaining 6 challenges just for fun, please do!)
-
Starting June 30, each time you complete a challenge, visit the library to get a small prize and to submit your name into a weekly raffle for gift cards.
-
If you can show proof of having completed a challenge, you will get an additional raffle ticket.
-
When you finish all 9 challenges, email TAG@nvdpl.ca and get a book prize!
Winning Prizes: This year’s prizes are stickers, snacks, and gift cards! You can claim your prizes in person at a library information desk anytime from June 30 to September 2.
