Summer Reading makes a huge difference when children go back to school!

Children can lose up to 3 months in reading skills over the summer. This loss can add up, leaving some children years behind as they get older.

• Children who read over the summer do better in school.
• Children as young as infants should be read to by a parent or caregiver.
• Children learn more when they do more, so our Summer Reading program has hundreds of free in-library events all summer.
• Libraries have free books and computers for use and comfortable places to relax and read.
• Library staff is dedicated to motivating children to read.
