Numerous studies have shown that reading over the summer months prevents \u201csummer reading loss,\u201d which can have a cumulative effect. Studies show that by the end of 6th grade, children who lose reading skills over the summers are two years behind their classmates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Reading Program is completely free and offered during regular library hours at all four branches.
