Become a featured stop on the 2026 Kitsap Reading Trail — a fun, family-friendly literacy

adventure happening across Kitsap County! Dates: July 11 – Aug 31st, 2026

What Is the Kitsap County

Reading Trail?

The Kitsap County Reading Trail is a summer literacy adventure that invites families to explore local businesses while encouraging kids to keep reading during the summer months.

Each participating business becomes a Trail Stop, featuring a PaperPie children’s book displayed for visiting families to read and enjoy. As families travel the trail, kids use a Reading Trail Map to visit each stop, read the book and collect a stamp or sticker.

Once their map is complete, children earn prizes and along the way they discover and connect with the amazing businesses that make up our Kitsap community.

For businesses, it’s a meaningful way to welcome families into your space, support literacy and be part of a fun community experience 📚✨
