TD Summer Reading Club Parent FAQ

What is the TD Summer Reading Club and when does it start?

Kids can join the Club starting on June 24 at their local library branch and participate online all summer. Visit tpl.ca/readingclub to register your child for the Club on or after June 24. The Club closes on September 2.

How many books do participants have to read and when can my kids report on books?

Kids can read as many books as they like, then report at their local branch or online any day, any time and from any where starting June 24. As they report on the books they’ve read, participants will receive stickers (in branch) or virtual badges (online).

Do we have to read specific books and do they have to be from the library?

Nope, kids can read anything they want! The Toronto Public Library has thousands of books in many different languages and formats (books, audiobooks, eBooks, eAudiobooks, etc.) that you can order online and borrow. Participants can also read any book from home or anywhere else and still be part of the Club. We want to make it easy for kids to have fun reading!

My child has a print disability. Can they participate?

Absolutely! We have a wide selection of audiobooks, ebooks and books with CDs that they can listen to and report on.

The TD Summer Reading Club is accessible for kids of all abilities, no matter how they read! Ask library staff about getting the content of the notebooks in accessible formats. You can also download the materials from the national TD Summer Reading Club.

Is there a way for kids who read in French to participate in the TD Summer Reading Club?

Oui, the TD Summer Reading Club is a bilingual program! Kids can participate in the French Reading Challenge, which kicks off on June 24, and by visiting clubdelecturetd.ca.
