Summer Reading - Get Outdoors With Your Local Library

By Kendra Bradford, publisher of Macaroni KID Carlisle - Shippensburg - Boiling Springs June 1, 2024

2024 Summer reading programs and incentives for Cumberland County




Our local libraries have worked hard to make a summer of reading fun! Cumberland County libraries offer our favorite summer long event - SummerQuest and registration is open now! SummerQuest is a free children's summer reading incentive program full of fun events, things to do with your family, and prizes!

This year's library summer reading theme: Adventure Begins At Your Library!


Amelia Givin Library (Mt. Holly Springs)


Bosler Memorial Library (Carlisle)


Coy Public Library (Shippensburg)


John Graham Library (Newville)


East Pennsboro Library (Enola)


Fredricksen Library (Camp Hill)


New Cumberland Library (New Cumberland)


Simpson Library (Mechanicsburg)


One of our favorite parts of SummerQuest is Go Cumberland! Go Cumberland partners with the Cumberland Co libraries and WellSpan Health and is a healthy initiative to help encourage kids to read and get outside. So head to your library to pick up your guidebook, or download the directions from gocumberland.org website, and get ready for adventure! This year there are even new trails with a special rubbing plate at the end! Can you finish all 15 hikes and collect all of the secret codes to unlock even more prizes?
Go Cumberland runs from June 1st to August 15th
