Children who read 2-3 hours per week over the summer score higher in reading, math and reasoning skills when they return to school. That’s what the research shows. Monterey Public Library keeps children’s minds active and engaged while they are out of school by offering reading incentives and free creative learning opportunities throughout the summer. Your support makes this possible. This year’s theme, “It’s Showtime at Your Library!” encourages readers of all ages to explore their imaginations and express their creativity. Through acting, writing, art and film production, Monterey Public Library’s Summer Reading Program will give kids the tools they need to share their stories, connect with each other, and return to school ready to shine..
