Benefits of Summer Reading Programs

Link to column by Library Director Lori Belongia in the June 1 Marshfield News Herald, "Summer reading pays school year dividends.".

Excerpt: The ability to read and spending time reading are vitally important to successful living and a vibrant community with involved citizens. Summer reading programs also pay significant dividends to school districts, taxpayers, teachers and students as students retain skills that take a school year to acquire. With reading as the basis for all education, educators, researchers and parents agree that summer reading benefits students.
