Nine Easy Ways to Keep
Your Kids Reading This Year

1. Sign your child up for a library card.
2. Sign your child up for the Summer Reading Program and enjoy free programs with fun activities, stories, contests, crafts and more!
3. Read with your child every day. Take advantage of "waiting time" to share books:  on trips, at the doctor's office, in line at the grocery store, etc.

4.  Take a bag of books for reading breaks from the sun, water and sand at the beach, lake or pool.

6. Read on your own and talk to your child about what you're reading. Families who share reading experiences tend to raise children who read well.

7. Use closed captioning during TV shows so children see the words as they hear them.
8. Listening to books also helps children become better readers. Choose a fun chapter book for a "family read aloud", or check out audio books for car trips and rest times.
9. We offer digital collections of e-books and
