Over 2000 people are participating in Lake Villa District Library’s 2024 Summer Reading Program, Best Unbelievably Great Summer or BUGS for short. And the program is just getting underway.
People of all ages are reading (or being read to) for chances to win great prizes. By setting a goal of reading a certain number of minutes each day and tracking progress along the way, they’re making reading a daily habit.
Historically, summer reading programs are meant to inspire reading during time off from school and to avoid the “summer slide.” LVDL takes it a step further by creating a fun, interactive program for people of all ages.
Summer reading isn’t just for kids. Adults can read for chances to win gift certificates to local stores and restaurants…all while modeling reading
as a lifelong skill to the children in their lives.
Plus, there’s plenty of bug-themed programs and activities planned---including an end-of-summer party.
BUGS runs through Sunday, August 11. Support for summer reading is generously provided the LVDL Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) organization.
Lake Villa District Library enriches life in our community by connecting people with resources, services, spaces and each other.
