Plant a Seed, Read! | Summer Reading Program

The Seward Community Library & Museum is planting the seeds for a fantastic summer! Join us for the 2026 Summer Reading Program, Plant a Seed, Read, running from May 21 through August 12.

This year’s theme celebrates the journey from farm to table—just as a farm nourishes our bodies, the library nourishes our minds. Stories help us grow, connect us to our families and communities, and remind us how ideas take root and flourish. All summer long, the library becomes our shared community table where we feast on imagination.

Sign up at the front desk or on Beanstack to track your reading, attend weekly events, and win prizes all summer long (while supplies last). It’s a season of growth, curiosity, and fun—come read with us! Last year our community achieved a record-breaking five months of continuous reading—let’s see if we can beat it this summer!

Sign up at the front desk or with the link below and pick up your free SRP swag bag starting May 21st at SCLM: https://sewardcommunitylibrary.beanstack.com/reader365

 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the community partners who make this work possible. Seward Community Library Association and Seward Rotary have generously supported us as Legacy Sponsors at the $2,000 level, and the Seward Prevention Coalition has joined us as a Cultivator Sponsor at $500. We are also deeply grateful to our program sponsors whose contributions enrich every part of this effort: Sean Ulman, Teen Rec Room, Seward Community Garden, Seward Animal Shelter, Kenai Fjords National Park, Timberline Learning Center, Alaska SeaLife Center, Seward Children’s Museum, Claire Dilday, Sadie Allen, Marissa Beck, and Cassie Vachowski & family. Their support strengthens our programs and helps us continue serving the Seward community.
