Round Rock Public Library Summer Reading Program | 2026
The Round Rock Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is back for 2026! This year’s theme is “Unearth a Story” — and the library invites everyone to dig in. Kids, teens, and adults are all welcome to join the reading challenge.
Register at ReadSquared starting June 1, log your reading by July 30, and earn prizes along the way.
Round Rock Library Community Reading Challenge
The Summer Reading Challenge is for all ages — babies through adults. Track your reading using the library’s free ReadSquared platform (website or app) and earn prizes along the way. Best of all, no library card required to participate!
How It Works
Step 1: Register
Create a ReadSquared account starting June 1 at roundrocklibrary.readsquared.com. You can set up a family account to manage multiple readers under one login — great for logging everyone’s reading at once.
Pro tip: Parents, start by setting up an account for yourself first, then add your children.
Step 2: Read (or Listen!)
Books, eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, graphic novels, database articles — anything counts. Being read aloud to or listening during storytime counts too!
Step 3: Log Your Reading
Next, log your reading in ReadSquared by July 30. Use the website or download the free app (iOS and Android).
- Kids (ages 0–11): 1 point per minute of reading OR 15 points per picture book — whichever earns more
- Teens (ages 12–17) & Adults (ages 18+): 1 point per minute
- Bonus missions: earn 10 extra points for each community mission you complete
Step 4: Claim Your Prizes
As a result, for every 300 points, you earn a prize. The challenge is complete at 1,500 points — up to 5 prizes per person.
- Kids & Teens: Earn Book Bucks to spend at the Book Buck Store on the 2nd floor (June 8–July 30)
- Adults: Earn Prize Vouchers to redeem at the 3rd-floor service desk (June 8–July 30)
