Traditionally, summer reading programs are designed to encourage elementary-aged children to keep reading during summer vacation. Children, parents/guardians, and older siblings visit the library, pick out their books, and start reading and collecting their “brag tags”!
BRAG TAGS ARE BACK!
When you register for the Summer Reading Program you’ll pick up all the materials you’ll need to get started, and “snag” your first brag tag! Preventing the “summer slide” continues to be the main objective of summer reading programs. This reading incentive gives readers extra motivation to read and collect all ten tags. It will impress teachers with how many books/pages they read during their summer vacation!
The 2023 Summer Reading Program is designed to help:
- Children be motivated to read.
- Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library.
- Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.
- Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery.
- Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.
- Most of all – HAVE FUN!
