Summer Reading
The library’s Summer Reading program is one of the great success stories for the difference private funding makes. In 1997, when The Library Foundation began providing private support to Summer Reading, less than 5,300 children participated. In 2009, more than 62,500 babies, kids and teens participated. Summer Reading is the state’s largest reading program for children. It is also one of the busiest in the nation.
Thank you to the sponsors who are helping kids succeed in school—and in life:
