Summer Break Baltimore
Summer Break Baltimore is a fun, free program for all ages that encourages literacy and learning in our community all summer long.
Summer Break Baltimore 2025
Summer Break Baltimore 2025 begins on May 31, 2025. Join us for another great summer of reading, events, and activities, starting with a free kick-off event at many Library locations. See what's happening at the Pratt location closest to you.
Summer Break Baltimore participants can receive a free Summer Break t-shirt upon registration as well as a free book to add to their home library in June, July, and August, available while supplies and sizes last. Book title availability will vary and t-shirts are expected to go quickly, so visit your local library to learn more.
Once registered for Summer Break Baltimore, you can earn entries into monthly prize drawings by reading books and attending programs at the Library! Stop by your nearest Pratt Library location to redeem your raffle tickets each time you read a book or attend a program.
Limited group registration is available for non-school organizations of five or more. Visit the Summer Break Baltimore Groups Page to learn more.
