California
Summer Reading Challenge
Public library summer reading programs build
communities of readers and library users and help prevent summer learning
loss. In 2014, over 700,000 Californians signed up for summer reading and
over 1.3 million took part in summer reading activities
.
The California Summer Reading Challenge provides libraries with resources to create innovative
summer reading programs that keep California children, teens, and adults
reading all summer long.
Help
us meet our goal of #onemillionreaders in 2015!
It’s
Time for Summer Reading Fun!
Get
your groove on this summer and “Read to the Rhythm!”
Anaheim Libraries will be
offering reading programs for all ages this summer, with something for everyone
to enjoy - stories, music, movies, crafts, books and prizes! As always, Summer
Reading Fun for the kids will include themed storytimes and crafts, reading
incentives, and energetic programming for all ages.
The
benefits of summer
reading are clear. National research confirms that students who participate
in reading programs over their summer break, scored higher on reading
achievement tests at the beginning of the school year than those who did not
participate.
There
will also be reading incentives and special programming for Teens and Adults;
including crafts, classic movies, and music events. Check the links in the left
column to find out what’s planned at your local branch this month. Sign up at
your favorite branch beginning June 15, and don’t miss our “Read to the Rhythm”
float in the Anaheim Hills 4th of July Parade!
