More than 1800 kids, adults, and teens have signed up for "Reading Takes You Everywhere" our 2018 summer reading program! Our program runs through July 31 and an Algonquin Area Public Library card is required to participate.
Everyone gets a gift for signing up! Kids will read and do activities for a chance to spin the Youth Services prize wheel. Teens will record their reading hours to earn prizes and Book Bucks, and enter drawings. Adults will earn great coupons from local businesses. Everyone gets a one-of-a-kind retro design T-shirt just for reading!
Whether you're on the beach, on the road, or just on the hammock, summer is a great time to relax and read. Summer reading is especially important for young children to prevent "summer slide," when reading skills gained during the school year slip due to lack of reading practice during the summer. Plus, who doesn't want to let a book take them to a new place! Enjoy!
