A Note to Parents: The goal of the Summer Reading Program is to encourage children to read during the summer months in order to foster a love of reading that will last a lifetime. This program is designed to make reading fun so that children will want to participate and read more. In addition, children who read during the summer are better prepared to meet the challenge of a new school year in the fall.
