Summer Reading!

The perfect pairing with a Cultural Pass

The Louisville Free Public Library’s annual 10-week Summer Reading Program, presented by the Library Foundation, encourages children and teens to read for fun over the summer and helps them avoid summer learning loss. Summer Reading will run again June 1 – August 3, 2025 and is FREE to all area youth, newborn through 12th grade.

Find your library in the list & register for Summer Reading using the link below!

My daughter and I love the Cultural Pass and use it every summer.
This app seems like the perfect next step for the program and I can’t wait to use it!
