Summer Reading Programs
Crazy about Science
2007 Summer Reading Program has ended. Check back when the summer of 2008 begins.
The Wilmington Memorial Library presents an annual summer reading program based on a theme that will encourage children of all ages to read for the fun of it during the summer months. Sign up for the annual summer reading program begins as soon as the Wilmington Public Schools recesses for the summer. Children who sign up for the summer reading program receive a free reading kit that includes a schedule of events, a reading log and entry blanks for free drawings, such as, “lucky reader of the week.” Children also receive a stamp in their reading booklet for every visit to the library during the summer.
Studies have confirmed that children who participate in summer reading programs maintain critical literacy skills. For more information on summer reading and literacy, and tips for parents, check the American Library Association website.
