Summer Reading in the City!

The New York Public Library, Queens Library, and Brooklyn Public Library invite you to join the Summer Reading Program at your local library. Each year, these three systems come together to do what they do best: encourage everyone to read, especially children. Several research studies have shown that students who read during the summer months do better academically the following school year, and the Summer Reading Program is designed to make reading activities exciting and appealing through a variety of library-based incentives. Stop by your local branch to pick up a free booklist and learn about the many special programs, discussion groups, author chats, and workshops available. In addition to visiting your local library, a dedicated website — summerreading.org — allows you to keep in touch with the program from your own computer. And don’t forget, you can download eBooks, videos, music, and recorded books from your public library — for free! For more information, visit: http://www.summerreading.org/
