Learning Tip of the Month

Sign Up for Your Library Summer Reading Program

It’s fun! It’s simple! And it’s free!

Start your summer out with a trip to the library and get signed up for the summer reading program! Your child will get rewarded for reading, and have access to the wonders of books in every trip to the library.

If kids don’t read over the summer they fall behind in their reading skills, sometimes by as much as two to three months.

The benefits of a summer reading program for children:

  • Children are motivated to read.
  • Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books and the library.
  • Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.
  • Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery and ability to work cooperatively.

And, while you are there—pick up some books to read yourself! Watching parents read also increases a child’s reading success.
