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 2025 is almost here!
Summer Break Baltimore returns on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at all Pratt locations and will run through Saturday, August 30, 2025. Attend a fun kick-off event on May 31 to register for the program and celebrate the return of summer.
Summer Break Baltimore 2025 will be another great summer of reading, events, and activities! During the program, participants can collect one book of their choice per month to add to their home library, one t-shirt upon registration (while supplies last), and can participate in programs, prize drawings, and more.
Check back here for more information about Summer Break Baltimore 2025 (including our brand-new t-shirt design, to be revealed soon!). In the meantime, browse the Pratt Library events calendar to explore year-round programming for all ages.
