Finkelstein Memorial Library Summer Reading 2023

Published

on

SPRING VALLEY, NY – Summer reading is a free public library program that encourages students to keep reading during the summer in exchange for a free prize as an incentive. They read the books- we give them the prizes! It’s easy! This avoids the dreaded “summer slide”. The Summer Slide is what happens when students don’t read over the summer. The first month of school in the fall is spent catching up to where students were at the end of the previous school year. Summer Reading helps them start off strong in the fall!
Attached is a clickable flyer that can be shared digitally and/or the main summer reading page can be found here (more downloadable flyers available for printed promotions).
Help in reaching all school-aged children (incoming grades K-12) living within the ERCSD to help incentivize them to keep reading this summer!

Officially known as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday was originally meant to honor the country’s first president, George Washington. Eventually, the holiday included Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. Presidents Day is observed on the third Monday of February each year. 

According to the then-used Julian calendar, Washington was born in Virginia on Feb. 11, 1731. In 1752  Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved his birthday a year and 11 days to Feb. 22, 1732.

During the American Revolution, George Washington stayed at the DeWint House in Tappan. The DeWint House is the oldest surviving building in Rockland County. George Washington also camped out at Washington’s Encampment in West Nyack on Strawtown Road.

According to nationaltoday.com, “It’s a celebration of all the ways we can become a positive influence in each other’s lives. Even one small act of kindness can mean a great deal to somebody. The world can be selfish and cruel sometimes and not everyone receives the same kind of support they need. In such a world, it is important for us to constantly be reminded to be kind to one another and to give others hope whenever we can. A small and random gesture of kindness can go a long way.

Your kindness might make a world of difference to somebody. This is the best week for you to show your support for the cause and help out someone in need.”
