You can sign up on the APL app or at a local branch library through August 3rd. 

Complete 30 days of reading to get a voucher for two free tickets to a Washington Nationals game AND a free book.

Have a library card? If not, don’t worry! They’re FREE and available to everyone in the community. Just use this application.

Want to learn how to track your reading? The directions are here.

You can track your reading on the Arlington Public Library app or by using this paper tracker. You can also pick up a copy of the paper tracker at a library branch.

Sora is available all summer. Check out the directions on how to use it. You can even read books from the public library without a library card (see the directions to find out how).

Students can use the Sora app on their iPads/phones or through the Sora website on any device.
