Program Benefits & Design:
The Summer Reading Program at Herrin City Library is designed to encourage children to keep reading during summer vacation. Preventing the “summer slide” continues to be the main objective of our summer reading program. For many families with children, the library is the only community space available during the summer months where they can access free educational and cultural enrichment activities and programs.
The benefits of summer reading programming for children:
- Children are motivated to read.
- Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library.
- Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.
- Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery.
- Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.
