 Summer Reading Sign-up Begins
Developing an appreciation for reading at a young age provides positive
and creative outlets for a child’s energy and imagination, as well
as a strong foundation for their future. According to reading
experts, kids who do not read over the summer lose about one-third of a
grade level by the beginning of the next school year.
Reading Rewards: Every child who signs up for summer reading will
receive a coupon good for one free activity at the Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle’s
Restaurant. Local Starbucks stores have donated “Cool Cards” good
for a complimentary “coffee-free” blended beverage for local libraries
to award to participants throughout the summer when they visit their local
librarian to discuss their reading goals. Every child who meets their summer
reading goal will receive a coupon good for an all day Oaks Amusement Park
ride bracelet for only $3, for use at the Summer Reading Celebration. Washington
County will host their party on Wednesday, August 16. Ask your local librarian
how you can qualify to attend your county’s celebration.
