<span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#303030">Lists are available for K-8 students. Each is available to download for free on the ALSC website in color and black and white. Lists can be customized to include library information,
summer hours and summer reading programs for children before making copies available to schools and patrons.

<span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#303030">“Summer reading helps prevent the summer slide that affects many children each year,” said Starr LaTronica, ALSC president. “By encouraging children to stay engaged in reading throughout
the summer at home and at their library they will be more prepared for the next school year.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

by the American Library Association Publishing Committee. The 2014 list was updated by ALSC’s Quicklists Consulting Committee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
