• Earn additional raffle tickets by attending library programs, writing book reviews, taking surveys, & other summer activities.
• If you reach the halfway point by completing 6 of the 12 challenges, you earn cool summer reading swag.

Woburn Public Schools Summer Reading

Woburn Public School students are encouraged to read throughout the summer. While there are no required texts, the WPS English Language Arts Department has provided lists of suggested titles for students looking for recommendations. Students are welcome to read other genres, series, and authors of their choosing. The main thing: READ! 

Middle School Suggested Titles 

High School Suggested Titles 

The Woburn Public Library is holding copies of all of the WPS suggested titles in the Teen Room. These titles can only be checked out for 2 weeks, with no renewals. Only Woburn residents may reserve holds on them.
