Summer Reading Clubs at the Bradford Public Library! The Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library has been participating in the TD Summer Reading Club for almost 2 decades! We also hold both a teen and adult summer reading club to foster and encourage a lifelong love of reading while providing fun and creative activities that promote literature, arts, science, and healthy and active lifestyles for all ages!

TD Summer Reading Club is Canada’s biggest, bilingual summer reading program for kids of all ages, all interests, and all abilities. This free program is co-created and delivered by more than 2,000 public libraries across Canada.  It celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories. It’s designed to inspire kids to explore the fun of reading their way – the key to building a lifelong love of reading.

Kids (and their caregivers) can participate anytime, anywhere – at local public libraries across Canada as well as at home, online, on the road or wherever their summer takes them.

Participants explore recommended reads; track their own reading; connect and share with others across the country; read books online; join in activities; collect reading incentives; write jokes, stories and book reviews, and more. There are great resources for kids with print disabilities as well as for pre-readers and their families.

It’s big – and getting bigger every year! A recent tally of TD Summer Reading Club numbers shows the significant impact of the program: 718,399 participants in more than 38,000 programs that were delivered by 2061 library branches across the country.
