2017 TLA Conference

Children who don't participate in learning activities over the summer lose up to 2 months of education, which by the end of 6th grade, puts them 2 years behind their peers who do participate in summer learning activities. Many children in low income situations have no access to paid summer activities - which is where the public library comes in! By expanding your Summer Reading program to become a Summer Learning Adventure, your library can have a long term positive impact on your community.
