Summer Reading at the Pember ~ Build a Better World

Learn with Linda! Our summer reading program is designed to encourage elementary-aged children to keep reading during summer vacation. We hope to prevent the “summer slide” so children will go back to school this fall ready to read and learn .


The benefits of summer reading programming for children:
• Children are motivated to read.
• Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library.
• Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.
• Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery.
• Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.
Plus, it’s FUN!
