Thosaigh Crann Léitheoireachta an tSamhraidh i Leabharlanna Tiobraid Árann ar an Luan 2 Iúil 2007. Ba chúis bhróid é do Bhanc na hÉireann urraíocht a thabhairt ar an scéim, a bhí ar oscailt do ghach aoisghrúpa.
Le haghaidh gach uile leabhar a léigh páiste, cuireadh duilleog lena ainm agus le hainm an leabhair air ar an gCrann Léitheoireachta. D’fhás na crainn seo sna leabharlanna, áit a raibh spás dóibh, agus chroch na páistí a nduilleoga féin.
Ag deireadh na scéime, ar 31 Lúnasa 2007, bhí na crainn lán. Buíochas le gach duine a ghlac páirt, is sibhse a chuir leo. Gheobhaidh gach duine a ghlac páirt teastas léitheoireachta agus bonn ag searmanas i leabharlann áitiúil.
Na Leabharlanna a ghlac páirt ná an Chathair, Carraig na Siúire, Cluain Meala, Cill Náile, an tAonach, Ros Cré, Durlas agus Tiobraid Árann. D’éirigh go maith leis an scéim agus ta buíochas mór le dul go ghréasáin bhrainsí Banc na hÉireann i dTiobraid Árann. Gan a dtacaíocht siúd, ní bheadh na boinn speisialta á tabhairt do na páistí a ghlac páirt.
