Summer reading for fun! The Summer Reading Program (SRP) runs from June through the start of August. Youth and Adults read for fun, track their minutes in the Beanstack app, and redeem points for prizes. We are fighting the "summer slump" for school-aged youth by encouraging them to pick up a book for entertainment. SRP is the largest program offered by IndyPL with planning occurring all year.

Location: Central Library, 40 East Saint Clair Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204. (Free Parking.)

Academic Discipline: Early Education undergrad/grad, Library Science with interest in youth programming, and/or public librarianship
