Summer Break Baltimore 2025

Summer Break Baltimore 2025 begins on May 31, 2025. Join us for another great summer of reading, events, and activities, starting with a free kick-off event at many Library locations. See what's happening at the Pratt location closest to you.

Summer Break Baltimore participants can receive a free Summer Break t-shirt upon registration as well as a free book to add to their home library in June, July, and August, available while supplies and sizes last. Book title availability will vary and t-shirts are expected to go quickly, so visit your local library to learn more.
