Summer Reading Starts May 21 

Kids, teens, adults and families can all join summer reading clubs, running from May 21 through August 11.

There are great prizes for all ages, including 3 Kindles for adults and a professional family portrait, valued at $350, donated by Kukuc Photography for the winner of The Amazing Library Race. 

 

Most importantly, summer reading keeps your kids from losing up to one grade level in their reading ability.  Read about the Dominican University study that proves it -IPPL participated in this research.  

We own a lot of books by Maurice Sendak       
If you've ever read Where the Wild Things Are, you know who Maurice Sendak was.  He passed away today7 - you may want to explore some of his other works.  Here's what IPPL owns.
Coming Soon
