Reading is fundamental! That's why the Miami-Dade Public Library System is once again hosting its Annual Summer Reading Challenge through Aug. 14, 2023.
The Summer Reading Challenge was established to keep students of all ages reading during the summer months, in an effort to retain and enhance their skills. To participate, children must read or listen to a book for 30 minutes, then submit an entry ticket to enter a special drawing.
To keep up with latest news, sign up for the daily South Florida on the Cheap newsletter. You can also follow us on Facebook and on Twitter and visit our Facebook group page.

“All reading counts,” according to the library system, including eBooks, eAudiobooks, comic books and magazines.
