County Libraries Launch Summer Reading Program

Reading lists and summer events are available for kids and youth throughout the county.

 

Summer’s here and with it means plenty of time to lounge by the pool or in a hammock with a good book.

Montgomery County Public Libraries launched its summer reading program today, providing reading lists and summer activities for youth around the county. Families can sign up for the program and log the number of books they read by visiting the library website. Those who read five or more books this summer will be able to print out a certificate showing the accomplishment.

Events for kids, families and teens are scheduled for libraries across the county.
