Children:
The Summer Reading Program for birth through Elementary School encourages kids to read or have someone read to them all summer long. Reading together builds pre-reading skills in young children, and studies show that older children who read during the summer months go back to school with improved reading skills. Reading over the summer is important, and the library can help make it fun and exciting, too!
