Summer Reading Program, Beaverton Library
How SRP works this year:
Beaverton City Library is encouraging babies, kids and teens to read, listen, and learn for 15 hours this summer. There is no need to register, just keep track of their time, and once they reach 15 hours, come to the library to pick out a free book between July 5- August 15.
What counts as “reading, listening, and learning”?
Reading is just what it sounds like—reading books, e-books, graphic novels and comic books, reading newspapers, magazines, fiction, non-fiction, poetry. The traditional reading you probably remember from past Summer Reading Programs.
Listening also counts! Having an adult or older child read aloud to a child, listening to audiobooks, and Tumblebooks. This is a great way for babies and young kids to complete the Summer Reading program. (Not to mention busy teen/adults who listen to audiobooks in the car!)
Learning is another way of saying Family Activities: Kids taking time to do things with their families like building a blanket fort, or experimenting with rolling toy cars down ramps, and just taking time to talk to each other to reflect on the day are wonderful ways of learning, and we want to encourage families to take the time to keep their brains active together.
How can my students get a Reading log?
Students have/will receive a Reading Log in Library class.
Staring June 1 reading logs are available at the library, or our website, or also linked here.
Free Book
When complete, kids and teens will get to pick a brand-new free book from the library—there will be LOTS of choices at different levels with fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, activity books, and more!
Events and Activities
Visit the events calendar, for all the in-person and virtual events and storytimes! Some programs require registration ahead of time and there are links on the calendar page.
We’ll also be out and about in the community this summer. We’ve love to see you at a park or summer meal site for storytimes and activities!

District Antiracist Vision Statement
Every student and employee has the right to learn and work in a safe and inclusive school environment that honors their race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability and national origin.
Beaverton School District owns that our student outcomes currently point to our part in perpetuating institutional racism, and we commit to actions that address the current culture that is leading to these outcomes. Schools are critical in providing safe and creative opportunities for people to learn about different cultural and racial identities, have conversations about pressing issues and correct injustice wherever it exists. We commit to eliminating the structures, policies and practices that perpetuate inequities in our schools and in our community.
Beaverton School District will authentically engage each student, family and staff member to build connection, uplift understanding and truly value the diversity of our school communities. We will work to dismantle policies and systems that perpetuate institutional racism and barriers to education and other school-related activities. Students and families of color will see themselves represented in curriculum, materials, instruction, classrooms and all school activities in our district. Our district will honor, respect, represent, engage with and be accessible to students and adults from all communities.
Eliminating racism and all forms of bias is fundamental to our work — not just a part of our work. We commit to removing racism, white supremacy, hate speech and all forms of bigotry from our schools and communities.
Our district will:
- Seek and incorporate student, family, educator and administrator input in decision-making processes.
- Provide ongoing anti-bias and antiracist education to every staff member.
- Enforce Every Student Belongs procedures to prevent, interrupt and stop racist and biased incidents among students and between staff and students or community members.
- Create an inclusive learning community that honors, respects, represents, engages and is accessible to learners from all communities.
- Create permanent district funding and resources to promote equitable policies, structures and practices for BIPOC students and other marginalized groups.
- Implement policies, procedures and professional development to confront and eliminate conscious and unconscious racism and review these policies and procedures regularly to ensure we are meeting our commitments.
