Summer Learning Challenge
Thanks for joining us in 2012 at the Chicago Public Library. Children up to the age of 14 were invited to celebrate healthy living.
Picture-book readers and pre-readers who completed 25 pictures books earned a bag for books. Children who read chapter books earned a back to school drawstring backpack when they completed 10 chapter books. Weekly book raffles, author visits, performers and presenters were just some of the activities that were featured throughout the summer in this drop-in program that helps motivate kids to read for fun.
For more information, contact your neighborhood library or call Children and Young Adult Services at (312) 747-4780.
