The theme for the DoD-MWR Libraries 2025 summer reading program is Level Up at Your Library.
Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, and to foster friendships, new and old. Level Up at Your Library is an all ages summer reading program based around puzzles and games.
Whether you’re playing with STEM concepts or gamifying your reading logs, learning to play chess or how to code video games, iREAD 2025: Level Up at Your Library reminds us that libraries are not just a space for knowledge, they are a space for fun!
In partnership with iREAD Summer Reading, library programs will include activities, graphics, crafts, reading lists, incentives, and much more for children, teens, and adults. Learn more about the 2025 illustrators here.
Your 2025 Resource Guide and the beautiful artwork available via instant download will bring this colorful theme to life in your library!
