Summer of Adventure

The Denver Public Library's Summer of Adventure program encourages youth from birth to 12th grade to READ, MAKE, and EXPLORE both independently and inside the library. We provide opportunities for informal learning and activities to create academic and social emotional growth throughout the summer months.

We have NEW prizes, events, and ways to participate. The Denver Public Library is ready to help you meet experts, learn new skills, and find amazing new ways to read.
