2026 Summer Learning Program
This summer, Missoula Public Library invites readers of all ages to Unearth a Story. From dinosaurs and fossils to history, science, and hands-on discovery, this year’s Summer Learning Program encourages curiosity, exploration, and plenty of reading along the way. Children, teens, and adults can take part in reading challenges, programs, and activities all summer long.
Starting June 1, patrons can pick up a printed reading log (for young readers) or Library BINGO card (for teens and adults) as well as enjoy a variety of fantastic offerings during the summer.
Reading Challenge
To counter the learning summer slide for children and adults alike, participate in our reading challenge by logging your reading and activities for the chance to win prizes! Visit our Youth page for details on how kids can participate. Visit our Teen & Adult page for details on how older readers can participate.
