Summertime is time for a good book! Are you reading a good book this summer? Are the kids in your life reading? Found some information about kids and summer reading:
"Public libraries, through their summer reading programs, put books in the hands of children. This is the best antidote for the 'summer slide' in children's reading achievement. Access to books and library programs over the summer results in more reading which, in turn, results in improved reading skills."
-- Assistant Commissioner for Libraries and New York's State Librarian Bernard A. Margolis
Goals of Summer Reading at New York Public Libraries- Advance literacy and academic performance by engaging children and teens in reading and reading-related activities during the summer months.
- Foster a love of reading through public library programs and services.
- Increase successful reading experiences through librarian-supported, self-selected, voluntary reading.
- Involve parents and all family members in the library summer reading experience.
- Improve children’s access to library materials and activities, which will encourage them to become lifelong library users.
- Increase the number of children and teens participating in public library summer reading programs.
I'm headed to the library now for my next book! |
