The Louisville Free Public Library’s annual 10-week Summer Reading Program encourages children and teens to read for fun over the summer and helps them avoid summer learning loss.
School-aged children simply read ten books, teens read six books, and preschool-aged children and younger need to read, or have read to them, 20 books to complete the program. Studies have shown that children who participate in public library summer reading programs increase their enjoyment of reading, improve their reading skills, and return to school better prepared to learn.

More than 23,000 youth have been placed in jobs by SummerWorks and its Champion Employers. When we invest in young workers, it's far more than an invaluable short-term opportunity - we strengthen the long-term foundation of our economy, and our community.
Early job experiences are also key building blocks for youth which is why SummerWorks has the strong support of donors such as the James Graham Brown Foundation, JPMorgan Chase, Diaz Family Foundation and other contributors large and small whose investments provide sponsored job experiences for many of our community's youth who are in greatest need of this life-changing opportunity.
