Summer Reading Challenge 

In 2018, the Robertson County Public Library launched a Summer Reading Challenge that lasts six weeks during the summer. We encourage children from birth through 12th grade to read for 20 minutes or more each day, record their reading time, and submit a weekly log of their minutes. Weekly totals will be displayed in the library for each Summer Reading Group. Prizes are awarded to the top three readers in each group.
