The Upper Skagit Library is a member of the Collaborative Summer Library Program organization, which puts together programming for participating members to use for summer reading programs across the nation. The goal is to keep kids (and their families!) reading even when school is out for the summer. Each summer’s program has a different theme to celebrate. Here at the Upper Skagit Library, we use some of the programming provided by the CSLP as well as some events and ideas of our own!
2019’s Summer Reading Program begins on June 15th and ends on August 31st.
“In the summer of 2019, 16,000 libraries across the country will celebrate space exploration in their summer reading programs. The slogan “A Universe of Stories” was chosen by library professionals to help inspire children of all ages to dream big, believe in themselves, and create their own story. The Collaborative Summer Library Program and STAR Net are partnering to share STEM resources with these libraries.
This summer learning program will coincide with NASA’s 60 years of achievement and its celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.”
