Middle Georgia Regional Library Welcome to Summer Reading

From: Washington Memorial Library

I am so excited to have summer reading back to a level that we all know and love! As you know, Summer Reading is incredibly important for helping our kids stay on grade level. Summer Reading Programs through the public library have been proven to increase fluency and comprehension. The best part is that this happens while kids are having a great time!

This year there is definitely something for everyone including storytimes, craft programs, and appearances from special guests like Pete the Cat, Barry Stewart MannThe 567 Center for Renewal, the Museum of Arts and Sciences, and more!

We know that the greatest impact on children's literacy is seeing an adult they love reading. Please accept this opportunity to lead by example and sign up as a family. The challenge is free for kids, teens, and adults, and prizes are available for all ages. The reading goal for this year is 25 hours with a halfway mark of 12.5 hours. You can log your family's reading using paper logs available at your library or through the Beanstack app which is available on Android and iPhone. Remember, all reading counts, including storytime, family reading time, and our virtual storytimes which premiere on Facebook Live each Sunday at 10:30 AM and Monday at 6 PM.

Use our handy dandy summer reading programming guide to dive into Oceans of Possibilities with MGRL and map out your summer plans. Physical copies of the guidebook can also be found at your local library!
