Welcome Back Summer:

The Summer Reading Program offers fun, educational activities that support early literacy and school readiness for children and teens. Preschoolers build a love of books through exposure to print and playful sound-based learning, while school-age participants are encouraged to keep reading over the summer to help prevent learning loss and stay on track for the school year ahead.

This grant provides funding for engaging, educational activities to support early literacy and school readiness for children and teens.
