SUMMER READING PROGRAM FOR EVERYONE <br />Summer in Louisville means going to the public library <br />for books, programs, and summer reading. Anyone <br />who has been to the library during the months of June <br />and July can attest to the excited buzz that fills the <br />Children's area as kids get their Summer Reading Pro- <br />gram folders and start tracking their reading progress <br />for prizes. <br />This year will look a little different, but the library's <br />goals are the same: get kids excited about reading and <br />motivate them to keep reading throughout the sum- <br />mer to maintain their reading skills until the start of <br />the next school year. <br />This year, adults, teens, and children can register for <br />our summer reading program online. Printable track- <br />ing pages are also available on our website, or you can <br />stop by the library to pick one up at our curbside table. <br />Track your reading for each day you read 15 minutes <br />or more to win prizes. This year, all of the prizes earned <br />throughout the summer will be distributed in August. <br />Kristen Bodine, Youth Services Supervisor, explains: <br />"Summer is typically our busiest time of the year. We <br />love connecting our community with fun books to <br />read, prizes, and fun events. This year, we're reimagin- <br />ing how our summer reading program looks, and we're <br />excited to continue to connect with our community in <br />new and different ways. Look for programs you can do <br />from home, personalized reading recommendations <br />from your librarians, and more' <br />Visit LouisvilleCO.gov/SummerReading to reg- <br />ister and print your tracking page.
