Summer Reading programs can help children maintain or even improve their literacy skills during the months away from school, motivating them to read about their personal interests and get excited about reading to learn. According to the Library of Michigan, “Children become fluent readers through sustained reading and by seeing others choose reading.” They can achieve both of those objectives by participating in a Summer Reading program through the library.

For more information, visit the library's website or call (734) 428-8045.
