Kids Color Our World 2025
Jun 14, 2025 - Aug 09, 2025
This program is designed for kids from pre-K through grade 5 (generally aged 2 to 11) to encourage life-long learning and curiosity. Use one of our
paper bead trackers
to track your reading to show our volunteers and choose your beads!
Recording your books on
ReadSquared will earn you points toward raffle tickets
for end of summer prizes.
We have lots of fun things including personal story times, honorary librarian (for a day), robots, Crayola Experience tickets, and more for end of summer prize packages.
Using the bead tracker lets you keep track of what kinds of books you read through the summer. Each time you read a book it can only count as one type of book - picture book, animal book, mystery book, graphic novel, etc. Each type of book will earn you a bead for your summer reading necklace and create a keepsake that you will have well after the summer is over. EVERYONE who registers will get a necklace, only those who read and record their reading will add beads to their necklaces and get a chance at prizes at the end of summer.

Harbor Me
by Jacqueline Woodson
View in Library Catalog
Harbor me by Jacqueline Woodson is a fiction book. The book was mainly about the narrator of the story, Haley, and her discussions with her friends. As part of a special class, Haley and her six classmates go to the ARTT (A Room To Talk) room every Friday to talk amongst themselves (without a teacher). At first, all the children have no idea what to talk about in the room. However, as time goes on, they start to open up about their lives and the many problems in the world. Talking with each other helped the children feel better about their own problems and even make new friends. Personally, I would rate this book a four out of five because the book itself was very meaningful and thoughtful but I think that it was a pretty slow book in comparison to other books that I have read before.
Ghost

Ghost by Jason Reynolds is a fiction book. It is about the main character, Ghost (his real name is Castle), and his life as a runner. When he joins the track team, Ghost makes many new friends, but he must make many sacrifices to fit in and control his anger. I think that this book is very entertaining and I would definitely recommend it. It makes you want to keep on reading until you finish the book. This is the first book in Track series by Jason Reynolds and I am planning to read the others too!

It's about the daily life of Mco the dog and Mr. Komatsu who is the Muco's owner in glass studio which located at akita mountains . It's really funny that Muco wants Mr. Komatsu to turn into a dog too!
Starfish
by Lisa Fipps
View in Library Catalog
Starfish by Lisa Fipps is a fiction poem book. The book is about the main character, Ellie, getting bullied by her friends, strangers, and even her own family just because of her weight. Ellie just wantes people to see her inside self, not just her looks. She must fight and gain courage to stand up for herself. Luckily, she isn't alone. Even though this book was a poem book (and I usually don't like poem books) I really enjoyed reading it. I think that many people who get bullied or don't get seen as their true selves would gain courage that they are not alone after reading the book.

It looks fun because she goes to the pool every single day.
Sunny
by Jason Reynolds
View in Library Catalog
Sunny by Jason Reynolds is a realistic fiction. The book is mainly about Sunny and his life on and outside of track. Sunny was one of the best long-distance runners on the track team but didn't enjoy running anymore so he decided to try the discus instead. This book is the third book in the track series and was written as a diary. Personally, I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it focused more on Sunny's thoughts than what actually happened.
