Naples Public Library Announces New Reading Program for All Ages

Naples Public Library Launches 'Pages & Pathways' Reading Program

Naples Public Library is excited to announce the launch of its new community-wide reading initiative, 'Pages & Pathways,' set to begin on Monday, April 15, 2026. Designed to encourage literacy and foster a love of reading across all age groups, the program offers tailored activities and incentives for children, teens, and adults.

According to Library Director Sarah Jenkins, 'Pages & Pathways' aims to connect residents through shared literary experiences. 'We believe reading is a journey, and this program provides pathways for everyone in Naples to explore new stories and ideas,' Jenkins stated during a press briefing at the library's main branch on Main Street in downtown Naples.

Participants can register at the library's front desk or through its website starting April 15. The program will run through the end of June, culminating in a community celebration event at the library on July 10, 2026, where prizes will be awarded to top readers in each category, bringing together families from neighborhoods across Collier County. Specific details regarding reading challenges, book lists, and event schedules will be available at registration.
