Summer Reading Challenge

Take the Summer Reading Challenge

June 15-August 3

Did you know that when children don't read over the summer months when school is out, they can lose up to two full grade levels of reading comprehension? Prevent the "summer slide" by signing up for Hayward Public Library's Summer Reading Challenge. It's easy and fun for all ages!

Summer Reading in Three Easy Steps:

1. Sign up in the Library or online after June 15.

2. Read your favorite books and magazines (younger children may be read to by a parent or older sibling)

3. Record your hours to win fabulous prizes!

Visit www.library.hayward-ca.gov for more information and to register.
