The San Bernardino County Library wrapped up a ‘shore’-to-remember summer, celebrating the thousands of readers who made waves during its 2026 Summer Reading Program, “Catch the Wave!”
From June 8 through Aug. 2, readers of all ages were invited to dive into books, ride the tide of discovery and enjoy free programs and activities at County Library branches. Children, teens and adults tracked their reading throughout the eight-week program while working toward incentives, prizes and special recognition.
This year, 36,402 participants registered for Catch the Wave, 618,083 books were read or items checked out, and 71,714 customers attended programs and activities across San Bernardino County.
