National Book Foundation
📣 Calling all indie bookstores and readers!
The National Book Foundation is partnering with the American Booksellers Association () to bring the third-annual Summer Reading Adventure to YOU!
If you loved summer reading challenges as a kid or want to try one out for the first time, you’re invited to join us.
Complete one or all of the activities —like our friend Lee, who stopped by Books Are Magic () to ask a bookseller for reading recommendations—for a chance to win fun, bookish prizes!
Browse the full list of ABA member bookstores at the link in bio. Select stores will have copies of the Summer Reading Adventure while supplies last! You can also download your very own PDF at nationalbook.org/adventure.
This summer, stop by a Little Free Library near you to kick off your Summer Reading Adventure! Check out the Summer Reading Adventure tag on Little Free Library’s world map for participating locations near you.
The Adventure runs from May 27–August 26, 2026. Readers (like you!) across the complete bookish activities—like borrowing a book from a Little Free Library, attending a reading party, or reading outdoors—and in turn receive a Bookshop.org discount code, a free audiobook from Libro.fm, and are entered to win fun and delicious prizes.
Adventurers that complete all of the activities are entered to win the grand prize trip to the 77th National Book Awards Ceremony in NYC! Readers must be based in the US to participate, and must be over the age of 18 to be eligible for the grand prize.
Visit nationalbook.org/adventure (linked in bio ) to learn more and to download printer-friendly Adventures in English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese. Follow along and tag us on Instagram and for a chance to be featured this summer!
