Summer Reading 2025
Sponsorship Opportunities

The Meridian Library District’s Summer Reading Program helps over 5,000 children annually combat the "summer slide" by providing two free books and engaging literacy activities.

Rising costs now require community sponsorship to sustain this vital program. Streamlined sponsorships make it easier to get involved while offering meaningful recognition for supporting literacy in the Treasure Valley.

Choose from three designs: the Funk Figaro (a tribute to the library's centennial cat); the Pop Smiley Face; or, if you’re feeling fired up, the Rock version of this year's World Tour Tee!

Figaro Adoption Kit

The Meridian Library District is commemorating its 100th year in the community! In revisiting the library's history, we've discovered an unconventional resident from the 1970s – Figaro, a black & white cat, who adopted the library in September 1976 and lived there for approximately four years. The Meridian History Center has diligently unraveled the mysteries surrounding Figaro, enabling us to reintroduce Figaro to the library, not just in memory. In honor of the centennial, the Foundation has created an exclusive Figaro Adoption Kit as a thank-you to our donors.

7TEN Book Drive

We are officially announcing our commitment to funding $50,000 toward the Meridian Library’s Children’s Collection for 7 types of youth books over the next ten months.

Every dollar raised through this campaign goes directly towards purchasing new youth books, ensuring that our young readers continue to have access to a diverse and enriching collection. Your contribution will help us continue our mission of enriching young minds and fostering a lifelong love of reading.

Together we will continue to meet the needs of our community...one story at a time.
