The Texas Reading Club is designed to encourage youth to read for pleasure and to promote library usage.

A statewide theme is selected each year. This year's theme, "Invent the Future! READ!," emphasizes ways in which reading expands young minds and encourages children to use their imaginations to envision the future in which they will be creative and contributing adults. It also reminds young people that reading can be great fun.

A handbook is created each year to aid in planning and programming, and the handbook, along with posters, reading logs, bookmarks, and certificates are offered by the Texas State Library to encourage participation and support of this important program.
