Take part in the Santa Monica Public Library’s free summer reading program for all ages, Reading Colors Your World, which runs through August 15. Together we read 194,445 minutes. There’s still time to help us meet our community reading goal of 500,000 minutes of reading! Register in person at the Main Library, Pico Branch Curbside and Montana Avenue Branch Curbside, or online at smpl.beanstack.org. Track your reading to meet your 10 hour / 600 minute reading goal. Children and teenagers receive special activity packages after 300 and 600 minutes of reading time, and adults take part in a raffle after 600 minutes of reading time.
