Summer Break Baltimore

Thank You for Joining Us!

Summer Break Baltimore 2024 has wrapped up after a successful summer of reading, events, and activities! During the months of June, July, and August, participants used raffle tickets to log the books they read and the programs they attended during the summer.

Prizes included gift cards to local attractions and book stores, tech gadgets, summer toys, and more. Each Summer Break Baltimore participant also received a free Summer Break Baltimore t-shirt, and one free book per month to add to their home library.

Check back here for information about next year's Summer Break Baltimore. In the meantime, browse the Pratt Library events calendar to explore year-round programming for all ages.
