By Kelli Workman & OPL website May 28, 2025

Summer Reading Program encourages and incentivizes kids, teens, and adults to visit their local library and read during the summer. Studies show that students who read during the summer months get better grades and reading scores when they return in the fall. Adults who read during the summer set a positive example for the children in their lives.
