Kids and Teen Summer Reading 2026

It's going to be a DINOMITE summer at the Corpus Christi Public Libraries! Unearth a Story, our summer reading program for kids and teens runs from June 1st through July 25th . Visit your local library to register, pick up your booklet and start collecting local prizes just for signing up on day 1. 

Our Summer Reading Program

To get started, pick up your Unearth a Story summer reading booklet at any of our library locations. This program is open to children ages 0 to 17. Whether your little one is just starting with picture books or your teen is diving into their next favorite novel, there’s something for everyone!

Here’s how it works:

Participants can sign up at any of the six library branches. Once enrolled, books checked out earn tokens for the bubble prize machine and stamps that help fill in the squares on the checkout cards. Completing all three checkout cards enters the child into a system wide drawing for prizes and gift cards.  Complete as many checkout cards as you like!

But the fun doesn’t stop with books! Check out our DINOMITE branch programs. There's a program for everyone for nonstop fun throughout the summer.

This summer, let your imagination ROAR and Unearth a Story, one page at a time.
