School is out but reading is still in! Our summer reading program this year, "Libraries Rock!" runs from June 25th to August 2nd. Keep track of your reading during the summer and check back with the library for the chance to earn prizes. Summer reading programs are proven to help children maintain and improve reading skills and avoid the ‘summer slide’. Libraries Rock! is open to children and teens, from newborn babies all the way up to rising High School seniors! Each location has a unique program, so check with your local branch for details on registration and participation.

Reading Tips

• Children read more when they listen to and discuss books. 

• Read to young children daily – and consider joining the library’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program!

• Read a chapter book to your school age-children by reading aloud one or two chapters every day.

• Talk with your kids about what they are reading.
