Summer Reading Program Begins May 30

The Beverly Hills Public Library will launch its “Find Your Voice!” Summer Reading Program on May 30. During the 10-week program, the library will host a range of free activities for children, teens and adults to encourage and support a love of reading. Participants can win prizes for reaching their reading goals and a variety of craft projects will be available in the Children’s Library all summer long.

“We have planned a wonderful program for youth (babies to teens) to make the library a wonderful place to read, learn, and discover what is available for their enjoyment,” said Karen Buth, City Librarian. “Join us for our family entertainment, Terrific Tuesdays, beginning June 27. This summer will be a summer of music and magic. Tweens and teens can join us for two Mindful Crafting Workshops beginning on Thursday July 13.” Everyone can also participate in the

Summer Reading Club Guessing Game. Research has shown that reading over the summer prevents summer reading loss. “Studies also indicate students who read recreationally outperformed those who do not. Students read more when they can choose materials based on their own interests,” said Buth. “Our library is committed to supporting lifelong learning and educational enrichment for all families.”

The library encourages everyone to sign up for Summer Reading Club. Learn more about the summer reading adventure at the library at www.beverlyhills.org/summerredingclub.
