The Pacific Beach/Taylor Library's annual Summer Reading Program will begin on June 15 and continue through August 15. Kids (ages 3-11) and teens (ages 12-18) are invited to participate by picking up a reading log at the library. Additionally, free events will be presented throughout the summer.

This year's themes are Dream Big Read! for kids and Own The Night for teens. All young readers earn prizes after reading 10 library books or 10 hours, and earn entries for a prize drawing when they read beyond that.

FREE EVENTS FOR KIDS will be presented every Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. and on two Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m. Here's a preview of what to expect:
