Reading with Ringling Program
Read five books. And earn one FREE kid’s ticket to The Greatest Show On Earth®!
Westfield Washington Public Library is excited to partner with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® for the Reading with Ringling Program, beginning October 1, 2026.
Young readers can turn their love of books into an unforgettable trip to see The Greatest Show On Earth® presented by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, November 20–22, 2026.
How Does Reading with Ringling Work?
It’s easy—and a great way to encourage kids to keep reading this fall.
Beginning October 1, pick up a Reading with Ringling card at WWPL. Then:
- Read five books.
- Have a parent or guardian initial your card.
- Bring your completed card to WWPL and have a librarian add the final qualifying stamp.
- Receive access to a special Reading with Ringling offer for one FREE kid’s ticket with the purchase of one full-price adult ticket.
That means five books can help earn your young reader a seat at one of the most exciting live shows of the year.
Choose Your Show—and Redeem Early
The Reading with Ringling offer is valid for select performances at Gainbridge Fieldhouse:
Friday, November 20 at 7 p.m.
Saturday, November 21 at 10 a.m. or 6 p.m.
Sunday, November 22 at 10 a.m. or 6 p.m.
Families can choose seats within the price level of their choice, excluding Front Row and VIP seating.
There is one important catch: seating is prioritized based on when your code is redeemed. So don’t wait. The sooner your child completes five books and you redeem the offer, the better your seating options may be.
Two Hours of Reimagined Circus Thrills
The Greatest Show On Earth® brings together 65 circus performers from 17 countries for two hours of extraordinary stunts, incredible athleticism, and jaw-dropping skills, all set to amazing music.
This isn’t the circus you may remember. Today’s Ringling experience combines world-class performances with a high-energy soundtrack featuring pop hits and original music designed to get the entire arena dancing, cheering, and celebrating.
And the fun begins before the official show even starts.
Arrive early for an all-new preshow featuring the Ringling Hype Crew, music, dancing, audience interaction, and surprises throughout the arena. The preshow begins 30 minutes before showtime and is included with admission.
From the first book to the final bow, The Reading with Ringing program is an experience that celebrates imagination, accomplishment, and the thrill of discovering something extraordinary.
Read five books. Log on to receive your ticket. Then get ready for the circus!
