Free Summer Reading Program Timer
Use a summer reading program timer for welcome, challenge, reading, activity, prizes, and close. Create an XTimer room when librarians, educators, volunteers, families, reading coaches, and program coordinators need shared summer reading program timing.
Built for this job
Reading program teams can separate welcome, challenge, reading, activity, prizes, and close.
Teams can keep sessions moving without replacing library program plans, challenge rules, school partnership notes, registration lists, prize policies, and accessibility plans.
XTimer rooms support shared summer reading program timers across librarians, educators, volunteers, families, reading coaches, and program coordinators devices.

Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use library program plans, challenge rules, school partnership notes, registration lists, prize policies, and accessibility plans as the source of truth.
Use the timer for program pacing only, not for prize, eligibility, attendance, safety, accessibility, or library policy decisions.
Keep reading logs, challenge notes, prize records, attendance notes, accessibility notes, and family updates in the approved library, school, nonprofit, civic, or program system.
Use an XTimer room when librarians, educators, volunteers, families, reading coaches, and program coordinators need one shared summer reading program countdown.
