Summer and More: Adrian’s Lifelong Journey at the Library
A summer reading champion since he was one, Adrian is reading 100 books a year—and finding his voice at the Budlong Woods branch, one program at a time.

To Elnura and her three children, the Budlong Woods branch is more than a quick stopover from the park or school, it’s a second home.
With Lead Corporate support from Allstate and other generous donors, YOUmedia is a safe space for teens to collaborate with other teens on creative projects, and gain skills they can apply in school and in life.
Access to free, high-quality summer learning programs is more critical today than ever before. Together, Chicago Public Library, Chicago Public Library Foundation and WITS will empower thousands of Chicago families to fight the COVID learning slide by connecting them to an unparalleled network of educational services and supports.
Summer is not canceled! It may look a little different this year, the Library’s Summer Learning Challenge is here to keep children active, creative, and learning all summer long.
Back-to-school transition can be a heart-racing, stomach-churning, palm-sweating event for children and parents. But don’t worry, Chicago Public Library has got you covered.
Thanks to summers at the library, Mia is turning her curiosity into creativity.
Thanks to you, thousands of kids enjoy a full summer of books, experiments, fieldtrips, performances, workshops, and more!
Summer matters. This is especially true for children and families who may not have access to high-quality summer activities and resources. Present in all 77 neighborhoods, Summer Learning Challenge gives children and teens the summer education they deserve.
