What is SRMP all about?
SRMP is a free summer program about reading, doing math, earning raffle tickets, and collecting gems at Freeport Community Library!
There are several ways to participate; as an Independent Reader, Teen Reader, and by doing Bedtime Math. SRMP is open to grades 12 and under who are Freeport residents, students of Freeport schools, or FCL cardholders.
Kids can participate in reading, math, or both to earn raffle tickets for any prize and to collect gems. The prizes are combined for Independent Readers and Bedtime Math. Teen Readers have their own unique reading prizes to choose from and can also participate in Bedtime Math.
Kids who don’t read on their own can participate as Family Readers. Even though they can’t submit raffle tickets, families get their own reading log. For every reading log they fill, they get a special sticker. They also can participate in Bedtime Math and submit raffle tickets for that.
When can I start? When does SRMP end?
Start tracking your reading and math June 1, then submit raffle tickets June 12 at 10:00am through August 3 at 5:00pm. Raffle winners will be called the next day. Prizes must be picked up by September 1, 2023 at 5:00 pm
No official sign-up is required, just start tracking and submitting online and come with your reading log to get gems and a free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream coupon at the YS desk.

How do I earn gems?
If you’re an Independent Reader who would like to collect gems, use the reading log to write down read books and come by the Youth Services desk at the library. Earn 1 gem for every chapter book (has a table of contents) read, and 1 gem for every 3 non-chapter books read.
How do I submit raffle tickets?
Online
Submit tickets using Google Forms. Follow the icons at the top of the page, or use the quick links in the Kids dropdown menu.
Independent Readers who also participate in Bedtime Math can submit their tickets on one form. Teens who would like to participate in both Teen Readers and Math will have to fill out two forms to submit.
In-Person
- Bring your reading log to the staff at the Youth Services desk. Show them how many books you read.
- The staff can show you how to submit your raffle tickets, or they can do it for you.
