Description

The Summer Reading Club is an annual public library tradition to encourage participants of all ages to get into the habit of daily reading. For children, studies have found that reading regularly over the summer helps to prevent learning loss, AKA the "summer slide." As a Public Library, one of our goals is to foster lifelong learning skills, which makes the Summer Reading Club is instrumental to our core values. During this seven week program the Library will be offering free programs and activities for all ages, including a Tween Percy Jackson Escape Room, "Safe Sitter" class presented by a local hospital, and live performers such as California Joe and his National Parks Magic Show. Each week of reading participants will have the opportunity to earn incentives for reaching weekly milestones and enter into opportunity drawings. Every year, both children and adults alike tell us how much they appreciate this fun event. Your generosity will help make Summer Reading Club a success by providing resources for our reading incentives and prizes. The members of our community – your customers – deeply benefit from the prizes that they can earn.

Thank you for you time and consideration!
