Summer Reading 2006!
We have all heard that kids can lose reading skills if not read to or are not reading themselves over the summer. See some articles and statistics at the American Library Association's website.
That is why the Grand Rapids Public Library has the Summer Reading Program every summer for children of all ages! (up to age 18). It is simple. Just visit your local library, pledge how many books or minutes you think you can read in an 8 week period, read, and gather fun prizes. For teens, for every four books read, your name is entered into a drawing for some great prizes. This year the program runs from Monday, June 12 through Saturday, August 5. Come join the fun!
