The Scripps Miramar Ranch Library's annual Summer Reading Program will begin on June 15 and continue through August 31. Kids (ages 3-11) and teens (ages 12-18) are invited to participate by signing-up at the Scripps Ranch Library starting June 15 and picking up a reading log.

This year's themes are Dream Big Read! for kids and Own The Night for teens. All young readers earn prizes after reading 10 library books between June 15 and August 31. Read 10 more books and earn raffle tickets for chances to win more prizes.

Free events for children will be presented on selected Thursday afternoons at 3:00 p.m. Here's a preview of what to expect:
