end
Background and Discussion: The Summer Reading Program began hoping to combat the tendency for children to lose reading skills over the long summer break. HCPL’s Summer Reading Program has grown into an annual event for the whole family. Each summer has a theme, and all HCPL branches present a wide variety of programs and special events designed to promote reading for pleasure and spark imagination. Participants log books or time read and other activities and are awarded books and prizes for reaching reading milestones.
Expected Impact: We hope that by offering high-quality books as incentives and engaging programming, we will increase the percentage of registered participants who fully complete the two-month literacy program.
Alternative Options: We could not accept the grant funds, which would result in us not having funds to purchase items needed to host a successful Summer Reading Program.
