Summer is a great time to try something new, and the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled is here to help you make the most of it. As part of the Collaborative Summer Library Program, LBPD welcomes people of all ages to stay curious, keep learning, and enjoy stories in whatever way works best for them. Our 2026 Summer Reading Program starts this June, offering accessible programs, activities, and challenges for kids and adults alike.

This year’s theme, Unearth a Story, encourages you to look a bit closer. You might get lost in a good book, learn about hidden histories, or find stories from your own community. There is always something new to discover! The program includes in-person and virtual events, as well as suggested reading lists.

Every story is important, and this summer is a great time to find the ones that mean the most to you.​
