2026 TD Summer Reading Club: DIVE IN!
June 8 - August 31, 2026
Set sail on an adventure across all kinds of waterways—ponds, lakes, rivers and vast oceans. Dip your toes into the cool, refreshing and precious water, and be on the lookout for a message in a bottle. But beware! You don’t want to fall under a siren’s enchantment or stumble into the kraken’s trap!
Imagine daring pirate battles, narwhal “tusking” rituals and the mesmerizing, synchronized dance of a school of fish. Slip on your wetsuit and discover hidden treasures—glimmering pearls, long-lost shipwrecks and secrets of the deep. Venture into the inky depths where bioluminescent fish and jellyfish drift silently. Play hide-and-seek among anemones, swaying seaweed and vibrant coral reefs. Catch a glimpse of playful and curious otters fishing in rivers, swim in crystal-clear lakes surrounded by forests and mountains, and cross marshy wetlands teeming with newts, turtles, geese and other wildlife.
As the sun sets on the horizon, casting a golden glow over your sandcastle, take a moment to appreciate the water that sustains all life. Let’s protect our blue planet and cherish its wonders!
