Create an account on Readsquared to register for our summer challenge.
The teen reading program:
Set your own reading goal and we’ll give you raffle entries for making progress toward it!
- Register below. All students entering grades 6-12 in Scotch Plains/Fanwood are eligible to join.
- When you register below, you will be asked to set a reading goal (up to 200 hours) for the summer. All the reading you do between 6/1/22 and 8/12/22 counts toward that goal, including graphic novels, audiobooks, news articles, and summer reading assignments. Keep track of all the time you spend reading and log that time in Readsquared or on a paper reading log.
- All reading time must be recorded in Readsquared and all paper reading logs must be sent to teens@scotlib.org by midnight on Friday, 8/12, to be eligible for earning raffle tickets. No late submissions will be counted.
- For each 25% of your goal that you reach, you will earn a raffle ticket. After the reading program is over we will email you with your total number of raffle tickets and instructions to enter the raffle(s) for the prize(s) of your choice. The raffles will close at midnight on 8/18 and prize winners will be notified on 8/19.

Here are the eight prizes that you can enter to win.

Register for the reading program:
Create an account on Readsquared to register for our summer reading program, even if you will be using a paper log to track your reading time. When you are setting up your account, make sure to choose the teen program!
Please note: if you participated in our summer reading programs in 2020 and/or 2021, you already have a Readsquared account! Please do not create a new one; just log into your existing account and join the teen summer reading program from there. If you have difficulty updating your existing account, email us and we’ll be happy to help.
Printable reading logs:
If you prefer not to use Readsquared, print one of these reading logs out and use it to keep track of your reading time! (You will still need to join the teen program through Readsquared; see the section above.) Printed copies of these logs are also available for pickup at the library. There are full-page and bookmark-sized options.
When you’ve reached 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of your goal, just email us a picture of your log(s). Make sure you send us a photo of your final reading log(s) by midnight on Friday, 8/12. Late submissions will not be counted.
