SPARK reading challenges engage readers to read every day. With a focus on science, play, arts, reading and knowledge, our SPARK program includes activities, challenges and prizes tailored to fit any age. Throughout the year, the Allen County Public Library hosts SPARK reading challenges where participants can earn free books and prizes!

Summer is the perfect time to celebrate reading and discovery with the help of the Allen County Public Library’s summer reading challenge. Join thousands of other readers in our annual SPARK Summer Learning Program. We invite you to track your reading and complete activities to win prizes.
