Here's something to celebrate: Your library place 3,929 books into the hands of 1,642 children during Summer at the Library kickoff week

Access to books is one of the most powerful ways the library helps children continue learning all summer long. Each book a child owns makes daily reading more likely — building the habits that prevent summer learning loss and keep young learners moving forward.
