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.
Every summer, Chicago’s students are at risk of losing more than 2 months’ worth of math and reading skills. YOU can change that.
Studies have shown that summer is a critical time for children. Students are at risk of losing more than two months’ worth of math and reading skills. More serious still is the painful truth that children who suffer the most are those from under resourced communities. This doesn’t have to be the case.
How can you transform a reluctant reader into a book lover? One summer at a time.
During the Summer Learning Challenge, Carson devoured one book after another, trying different genres that piqued his interest. He was also consistent in reading for at least the recommended 20 minutes a day – a habit that he still practices today.
