Welcome
to Reading Is So Delicious,
the 2012 Summer Reading Program.
Did you know that children who read this summer will be
more successful when school starts this fall?
Reading is the most important skill your child can develop for
academic success and it’s the one thing they shouldn’t take
a break from during the summer vacation.
Research has shown that it is the children who read the most
that tend to achieve the most academically and personally.
At Helen Matthes Library, we want to support you in bringing
the love of books and reading to your child. This summer we
have 7 fun, activity-packed weeks during the 2012 Summer
Reading Program. The aim of the program is to reward your
child for reading, and to support this goal, we have nearly
70 programs designed to foster and enhance a love for
reading and libraries.
We even have a Reading Program and events for YOU!
So sign the whole family up and get reading now.
