2020 Summer Reading Club at the Parsippany Library System
Join the club at

Record the hours or minutes that you read from now through August 22.
Preschoolers, elementary school students, and teens can join the club. The ten elementary schools in Parsippany will compete for a trophy based on the average number of hours each student reads.
You can read any type of book, including audiobooks and ebooks. Preschoolers can count the minutes that someone reads to them.
Every child that reads for 36 hours will receive a goody bag with small prizes at the end of the summer.
Currently the children’s programs are held virtually. Access programs through the library’s Facebook page or at the library website at https://parsippanylibrary.org/resources/children/
Check out an ebook, https://parsippanylibrary.org/digital/ or view a book directly through Tumblebooks. You do not need a library card to view Tumblebooks but you will need a library card to download ebooks from the CloudLibrary.
