Summer Reading Resources

Lovingly compiled from my inbox:

Summer Reading Flyers

The New York State Library, as part of Summer Reading at New York Libraries, is pleased to announce nine new translations of a summer reading tip sheet for parents of school age children, "10 Easy Ways to Get Children to Read This Summer."

The flyers, translated by Queens Library, contain helpful tips that parents can use to encourage and motivate their children to read during the summer months. The flyer is now available in English, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Haitian Creole, French, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Download them here!

Summer Reading PSA

CSLP has again this year created a PSA that can be used by your libraries to promote summer reading. For use by a library, for their website, to load on computers, etc. please download a copy from the CSLP website, sign in, and click on Proprietary Downloads. If you would like to share a copy with TV stations, please use this link.
