The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library is offering its annual free summer library program to early literacy, children, teens, and adults in the CNMI to encourage everyone to read for pleasure during the summer and to retain their reading skills.
During the summer, children and teens who aren’t reading or participating in other learning activities can lose up to two months of academic skills achieved during the school year.
Participating in the Summer Reading program can help students avoid the “summer slide.”
Additionally, children who see their parents and other adults in their lives reading tend to read more and build healthy reading habits.
