Finkelstein Memorial Library Summer Reading 2023

Published

3 years ago

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!
