Why Summer Reading Programs Were The Best ... and Our Picks For YOUR 2026 Summer Reading List

Kick off summer with us by remembering the summer reading programs or our youth and the excitement we felt to read our way to a super ball … or a Garfield pencil … or a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza. (And bonus if you got a mimeographed certificate!) Then we’re helping you create your own 2026 summer reading program by giving you a plethora of our own reading and listening recommendations, PLUS a way to print off your very own PCPS-created reading log.
