Summer Reading

At the library, our mission is to make reading fun and accessible for all ages. This becomes so much more important during the summer months when students are away from school. Without the opportunities for learning and growth fostered in their classrooms daily, many children and teens experience a decline in their academic abilities known as the “summer slump.” It is through the summer reading program that libraries help to fill that gap, because it enables students to continue building their reading skills while having fun on summer vacation. On this episode, Youth Librarian Ashley Guerzo shares what children and families can expect this year during summer reading.
