Literacy Resources

You are not alone. Many resources in the community — including libraries, museums, recreation departments, parks, arts and youth programs, and community-based organizations — offer programs that support youth development and literacy.

Summer activities are particularly important because they help students sustain what they’ve learned during the school year. Public libraries sponsor summer reading programs with lists of recommended books, activities and outreach programs like bookmobiles. For more information about summer public library programs and tips for parents to encourage reading, contact the public libraries (see below).
