“The thing I remember best about successful people
I’ve met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they’re doing … and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they’re doing, and they love it in front of others.”

We are thrilled to announce that
Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medalist and #1 New York Times-bestselling author,
is our
2025 Summer Reading Champion! You and your patrons have surely been touched by Katherine’s beloved and award-winning books for young readers, including Odder, Home
of the Brave, Crenshaw, Wishtree, Willodeen, and The One and Only Ivan. She is also the author of the Animorphs series,
a beginning reader series, Doggo and Pupper, illustrated by Charlie Alder, and
Dogtown, co-authored with Gennifer Choldenko. We know you love these books as much as your patrons probably do!
Our thanks to

Thanks to our partner this year,
Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, they produced 5,000 beautiful posters featuring our Summer Reading Champion for CSLP member libraries. If your library places an order after January 15, 2024, this full color 18"x24"
poster will be included automatically. This poster is all about Katherine Applegate's signature quote that "Books Change the World And So Can You". We believe it!
