Abbott Library launches summer reading program, registration now open
Registration is open at Abbott Library, where a June 25 kickoff with Silver Circus launched summer reading and a reading calendar that runs through Aug. 6.
Abbott Library opened its summer reading program with a June 25 kickoff featuring Silver Circus in the Activities Room, and registration is open now for readers in Sunapee. The program runs through Aug. 6, giving families, children, teens and adults a local place to sign up for a season of reading and activities.
Patrons can stop by the library between June 25 and Aug. 6 to fill out a sign-up form and receive a Summer Reading calendar to track the number of days spent reading. The library’s June 30 science program, Science Heroes: Digging It!, is also on the schedule, with sessions set for 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. and 11:00 to 11:45 a.m., adding another option for families looking for something structured during the summer break.
This year’s theme is Unearth a Story, the 2026 national summer reading theme from the Collaborative Summer Library Program. CSLP says the theme is meant to highlight the joy of discovery and the idea that every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared. Abbott Library is carrying that idea into a local setting with programming aimed at children, teens and adults rather than a single age group.
That broad reach fits the library’s mission, which emphasizes free and open access to materials, services and programming, along with space for community gatherings, personal enrichment, creativity, enjoyment and life-long learning. In a town like Sunapee, that makes summer reading more than a book list. It is a low-barrier option for residents looking for steady enrichment without the cost of camps, classes or day trips.
Abbott Library’s weekly events post pointed residents to the events calendar and newsletter for updates on programs for all ages. Project Sunapee’s community calendar also lists the June 25 kickoff and adds two more Abbott Library dates to the town’s summer calendar: a July 4 pancake breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and a book sale from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Together, those events show the library continuing to serve as one of Sunapee’s busiest civic gathering places through the heart of summer.
