Library’s Summer Reading Program Begins May 21

Summer is a time to relax, explore, and try new things. It is also when students tend to lose reading skills they worked hard to build during the school year. The Longmont Library’s Summer Reading program helps prevent this “summer slide” and invites participants to engage with the Library in a variety of ways all summer long. Just a little reading each day keeps minds active and builds lifelong reading habits. Summer BINGO board activities change every year; it’s easy and fun to participate!

 

Summer reading runs from May 21 through July 31. Participants who complete challenges can win prizes while supplies last. Get Summer Reading details here, or call the Library at 303-651-8470. Kids, Teens and adults are all invited to join the challenge.
