The Nationwide, Collaborative Summer Library Program Theme for 2025 is "Color Our World"!
The Lanpher Library will highlight books, stories, and programs based on this theme..and celebrate the beautiful artwork with bookmarks, stickers and of course, our reading logs for children and teens.
Why do Public Libraries put so much emphasis on Summer Reading?
According to the American Library Association, summer reading programs began in public libraries in 1890s as a way to encourage school children, particularly those in urban areas and not needed for farm work, to read during their summer vacation, use the library and develop the habit of reading.
Summer Reading Programs are so important because numerous reports show that summer reading prevents the decline in children's reading development that can occur when children are away from school and out of reading practice.
Libraries like the Lanpher Library work hard to make summer reading fun!
We love helping young children build reading and language skills; motivating teens to read and discuss literature; and encouraging adults to experience the joy of reading!
Check out some of the fun programs, displays, and incentives we're offering this summer.
