The Woodward Memorial Library in LeRoy, New York is in the midst of planning our 2023 Youth Summer Reading Programs. As you may know, reading over the summer is instrumental in maintaining a child’s progress from one school year to the next. This is why we put on a Reading Program for both Children and Teens that encourages continuous reading throughout the summer months.

We are excited to announce that the theme this year is All Together Now, and focuses on friendship, kindness, and unity! We have a variety of fun and interactive events planned for all ages. In addition to our educational activities, art programs, and guest performers, we host a Reading Challenge. As an incentive to complete this challenge, we offer prizes such as weekly raffles, end of the summer grand prizes, and challenge completion prizes.

As a small non-profit agency, we heavily rely on donations for support with a program of this magnitude. In past years, we have received gift certificates, tickets, coupons, and other items from our contributors to use as prizes for our Reading Challenge participants. We ask that you please consider donating to such a valuable cause. It is a great way for you to promote your establishment, while also supporting our organization. Your generosity will be acknowledged on our website, in the local newspaper, on social media, and in the Library newsletter.
