The JCL program is divided into age divisions: preschoolers, school age children, teens and adults.

Summer Reading is an annual nationwide program that began in the 1890s. It encourages people of all ages to spend the summer reading. Participants register and set reading goals for themselves, then spend the summer tracking their progress, winning prizes and attending events.
The program is divided into age divisions: preschoolers, school age children, teens and adults. This year’s Summer Reading theme is “Tails to Tales,” so reading challenges and events for all the age divisions focus on animal-themed topics. Events range from programs with Bays Mountain to a pet adoption with the Humane Society of Washington County.
