The King County Library System (KCLS) and the South Seattle Emerald are teaming up to bring you the “South End Scoop.” Dig into this community-centered column each month for great book, music, movie, and event recommendations from your local librarians.
KCLS’ annual Summer Reading Program has begun! Each year, we challenge King County residents of all ages to track minutes spent reading during the summer to help keep minds active and engaged.
Here’s how to participate!
- Visit your KCLS library to pick up a Reading Challenge log or sign up online.
- Read anything you like for 20 minutes a day, through Aug. 31.
- Track your time to earn prizes.
Get started with our Summer Reading Program — and celebrate Pride month! — with these great titles, selected by KCLS Librarian Alexis Carter.
