youth lose reading skills while school is out for the summer. As many as 64,545 children and teens read enough during the summer to finish their local public library’s summer reading program. Public libraries also made extra efforts to get underserved youth
to participate in summer reading by translating materials into Spanish, presenting activities in Spanish, taking summer reading to free summer lunch sites, and reaching out to schools, daycares, and afterschool programs. Children and teens who participate
in public library summer reading programs are more likely to maintain or improve their reading skills during summer vacation. Read the
