First, the Beverly Hills Library's Summer Reading Club runs from June 18th to August 13th. Children in the 2nd grade and younger draw pictures of their favorite scene from a book they listened to/read. Older children keep a reading log and receive stamps for completed books. Each picture/stamp earns a piece of a mobile for the child to decorate. When they've completed their mobile, they can bring it in and get their picture taken. There is also a party on August 15th. Obviously this is only doable for people living near the BHPL.
There is also a Summer Fun Reading Program being offered through the Homeschool Buyers Co-Op. For this, you record the hours read each day and receive entries into drawings held throughout the summer. (One hour of reading = one entry.) At the end of the summer you get a PDF certificate to fill out with your child's total hours. You do have to be a member of the co-op to participate, but that is free and you can find some good deals on supplies and curriculum from them.
