Summer Read and Learn Program to be Held at Montgomery County Public Libraries Beginning June 10

For Immediate Release: Friday, June 9, 2017

The Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) Summer Read and Learn Program is scheduled to begin on June 10. This year’s theme is “Build a Better World”.  Children and teens are invited to sign up online or at any branch starting on June 10 through September 10.

It’s important for students to continue to read during the summer months,” said MCPL Director Parker Hamilton. “The Summer Read and Learn Program provides a diversity of books, special events, and programs to keep our youth inspired to keep reading and learning all summer long.”

The program offers children exciting reading and educational activities. Participants can earn online badges and prizes (while supplies last) or raffle entries for completing tracks. Teens are also encouraged to participate in the program by reading and completing book reviews to earn badges and prizes.

Summer Read and Learn will include many different activities and events such as music, storytellers, science and animal themed activities. Schedules of programs are on the library’s calendar of events.
