Summerbash Reading Incentive Programs |
|
|
|
| Participating in the library’s summer reading program helps children maintain and strengthen their reading skills during the summer months while encouraging a lifelong love of learning. Summer reading keeps kids engaged, builds confidence, and supports academic success by helping prevent the “summer slide” that can happen when school is out. Library programs also give children opportunities to explore new interests, use their creativity, and connect with their community through fun activities, events, and shared reading experiences.
