📘 Get Ready for Summer Reading!
The Fairfax County Public Library understands the importance of summer reading. Summer learning loss, or the summer slide, is when children forget learned reading skills because they are no longer using them regularly. Reading and participating in engaging reading activities throughout the summer are two effective ways to combat summer learning loss.
Fairfax Library will kick off their annual summer reading program with a Summer Reading Festival at the Chantilly Regional Library on Saturday, June 24, 4-7 p.m. Families can enjoy games and crafts, face painting, bounce houses, a mini zoo, caricatures, food, and other activities.
Learn more information about Fairfax Library’s Summer Reading Program.
