Summer Break™ program (Mecklenburg Library)

Join Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, the Charlotte Hornets and the Grant Williams Family Foundation as we Block Out Time to Read this summer! From June 14 to August 16, 2025, join us as make reading a part of your daily routine. We invite you to celebrate the joy of reading through daily reading and personalized book choices for all ages.

Choose your tracking style with either a paper tracker, a digital tracker or a mix of the two! The paper trackers are available in branches with a mini poster and stickers while supplies last as well as available for download in both English and Spanish.

If you would prefer a digital tracker, simply click below or download the “Beanstack Tracker” app by Zoobean.


What Counts as Reading?


You can read anything you like for any length of time. We just want you to read! You can read to yourself, to someone else or have someone read to you. Just a sampling of what you can read includes books, magazines, newspapers, websites, email, comics, blogs or listen to audiobooks.
