Summer Reading 2024
Adventure Begins This Summer at the Plain City Public Library
The Plain City Public Library’s 2024 Summer Reading Program begins May 24th! The Summer Reading Program offers participants rewards for reading over the summer months. The Plain City Public Library offers a Summer Reading Program for kids (ages 3 – 12), teens (12-17), and adults (18 and up).
Beginning May 24 simply pick up a reading log at the library or print one at home using the links below. You’ll have until August 2 to fill in your reading log and turn it in to the library. Reading logs can be returned in person, in the library’s book drop, by mail, or you can email a scanned copy or photo to awarner@plaincitylib.org (kids reading logs) or lpowers@plaincitylib.org (teen and adult reading logs) and make arrangements to pick up your prizes later.
Kids will earn prizes for reading for 6 and 12 hours over the summer! Teens and adults have the chance to win a gift card, tote bags filled with surprises, and other fun prizes. The more you read, the more chances you’ll get! Plus, one child and one teen or adult will win our grand prize: a Kindle Fire!
The library will also host a series of online programs in conjunction with the Summer Reading Program. Check out our Events page for up-to-date summer program offerings.

Library Expansion Project
Update: The library will continue to be closed through Friday, July 12 as the roof replacement is completed. Off-site programming (Storytime at the Park, Murder Mystery Party and Dance & Sing with Miss Marlene) will continue as scheduled. Thank you again for your patience.
To ensure the safety of patrons and staff, the library will be temporarily closed for roof replacement on Monday, July 8 and Tuesday, July 9. Please avoid using the library parking lot, book drop, and pickup lockers, as well. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.
The Library will break ground this month on a building expansion which will include a workshop maker-space, community meeting room, recording studio, and drive through pick-up window. This project was made possible by a donation from Perry Yoder, a local retired business owner and library supporter.
Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2024. Check this page for updates as this project progresses.
