Plant a Seed, Read!
Participate in our 2026 summer reading program at the Wolcott Public Library! Join the summer fun by picking up a Bingo sheet and instructions at the library beginning on June 24th!
Read books, complete challenges, and earn raffle tickets. Raffle prize baskets vary in theme! Learn more about the raffle baskets below.
Find information on Children’s Summer Reading here.
Important dates:
- Submission of worksheets and raffle tickets: Weekly on Saturdays beginning July 4th
- Raffle drawings: Weekly on Mondays beginning July 6th
Submission Guidelines:
Bingo sheets may be submitted weekly towards a raffle ticket/entry. You may submit ONLY the Bingo sheet corresponding with that week for a raffle ticket. Show your worksheet to a staff member at the front desk, or submit by e-mail to wplbooktok@biblio.org. If submitted by e-mail, you will be automatically entered in that week’s raffle, and can expect to receive email confirmation of your entry.
For Week Six only, a reading log will be given out at the start of the week on Monday. Patrons can fill out their reading log with as many books as they read over the course of the summer (there is no minimum–any amount of reading counts!) and submit that log for their final raffle ticket.
Prizes:
If you are the lucky winner of a raffle, you will be given the opportunity to take home one of the available raffle baskets. Please note, while all five baskets will be up for grabs for the Week One winner, only one basket will remain for the Week Five winner. In honor of the 2026 Summer Reading theme, the Week Six prize will be to take home the mini greenhouse used in our Summer Reading display!
The themes of the baskets will be:
- Bookish Basket
- Artist’s Basket
- Zen Basket
- Gardener’s Basket
- Support Local Basket
Winners will receive a phone call from the Wolcott Public Library and an invitation to come pick out their prize.
Extras: Worksheets will be linked beginning on June 24th!
Read a really great book this summer? Plant a seed in someone else’s mind (and their TBR) by completing a Seed-Packet review. After submitting your review for a raffle entry, clip it to our summer reading display for all to see! (Limit one extra raffle ticket per week by submitting a review.)
Earn one extra raffle ticket per week by attending a library program!
Are you a busy parent and unsure if you’ll find the time to participate in Adult Summer Reading? We have something just for you! This worksheet may be submitted once throughout the summer in exchange for a raffle ticket.
Going on vacation and can’t make it to the library to pick up your Bingo sheet? Want to get a head start on next week’s tasks? Worksheets for all six weeks can be found here.
You may only win once. If you are the winner, you may continue participating in Summer Reading but if your raffle ticket is drawn a second time, another will be pulled.
We appreciate your support for the Wolcott Public Library!
