The annual Summer Reading program
is in full swing at all branch libraries.
ups are now being taken at any neighbor-

reading events, camps and classes to keep
youth of all ages playing and learning.
Young people can craft origami, meet min-
iature horses, learn about constellations,
listen to and perform music, and more!
About 85,000 students are already
signed up through their schools, reinforc-
ing the fact that summer reading is critical
for school success. The program is open to
kids of all ages, from birth to high school
students entering grade 12. High school
