Welcome to the Copper Queen Library’s Summer Reading Program, Oceans of Possibilities!  We are so excited that you will be participating in this year’s program.  There are plenty of things to look forward to this summer —     including weekly packets of free and fun stuff to help you celebrate a summer full of reading, writing and sharing stories.  Each week, you can pick up a reading packet from the Copper Queen Library or CQ Library Annex which will include a free book for you to add to your home library, as well as a program activity guide full of fun ideas that you can  do at home or with friends. The Copper Queen Library is also planning some free outdoor programs for you and your family!  Lastly, we have created a Summer Reading Blog at copperqueenlibrary.com so that you can share your projects with all of the other participants.  If you are unable to upload your projects to the blog, drop them by the library so that staff can upload them for you.

SRP Blog 2022
Patrons are encouraged to share their summers with all of our Summer Reading Participants to our Summer Reading Blog.  Each week, the Library will be sending out books and programs guides full of writing and drawing activities that you can upload to the blog.  We'll start with uploading short introductions of ourselves and go from there!  Participants can upload writing samples or photographs that will help chronicle our summer in Bisbee together.
