It\u2019s time for Grand County Library District\u2019s annual Summer Reading Program. While it\u2019s going to be a little different this year, we\u2019re excited to again offer a fun way to keep students (and adults) connected to reading throughout the summer months.<\/p>\n

This annual program aims to combat summer learning loss in children by encouraging patrons of all ages to read during the summer months. According to the Colorado Department of Education, \u201cReading is one of the most important things children and teens can do during the summer to keep their skills sharp for the next school year.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s program theme is Imagine Your Story, focusing on fantasy, fairy tales, and folk stories. From June 1 through July 31, the community is invited to participate by reading, joining in on activities and programs, and exploring our digital resources. If you complete your program by the end of summer, you\u2019ll earn some prizes and be entered to win some other fun stuff. (Adults can win a stand-up paddle board? Yes, please!)<\/p>\n

The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages, so don\u2019t think you can\u2019t participate if you\u2019re not in school. And we believe it is not about pages read, but just about interacting with literature, whether it\u2019s reading, listening to an audiobook, or even being read to. For little ones, we encourage you to read every day; for those in kindergarten through 5th grade, read 20 minutes a day. For teens, you can set your own goal based on what you want to do. And for adults, complete the fun bingo game we have prepared.<\/p>\n
