A flexible nonprofit reading program

designed by librarians

iREAD is a flexible, nonprofit reading program designed by librarians featuring appealing incentives, compelling and adaptable themes, and a comprehensive resource guide chock full of ideas and reproducibles.

The 2024 program, with the theme Read, Renew, Repeat will be available in early fall of 2023. Advanced orders of the 2024 Resource Guide will start shipping as early as November. Although originally designed as a summer reading program, iREAD can be used any time to develop excitement about books and reading
