Summer Reading Program is Underway
Parents and caregivers, why should kids and teens read during the summer? It is summer break, after all; kids deserve a break, right? Well, of course they do. Just be sure reading is part of fun time. After all, children who don’t read over the summer lose 3 months of reading comprehension. That loss is accumulative – by the end of 6th grade these kids are 2 school years behind their peers. Don’t let kids lose reading skills this summer. Reading as few as 4 books keeps kids at their current reading levels.
Kids, you can read ANYTHING to be eligible for prizes.
In November 1912, the beautiful Prairie Design building at the corner of West James Street and Dickason Boulevard was erected to be Columbus’ brand new Public Library. It was a gem then, as it is now, 100 years later.
