“Oceans of Possibilities” is the theme of the free summer reading program offered by the Lake County Library System.
The program for children, teens and adults runs from June to July with more than 500 free events and activities that are open to the public. A wide range of programs will be offered, including live science shows, animal and wildlife presentations, STEAM programs, gaming tournaments (including Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Nintendo Switch, and Pokémon), magic shows, interactive family movies, PAWS therapy dogs, LEGO classes and more.
“Our libraries have gone above and beyond with their programming for all ages this year,” said Heather Moore, the library system’s youth services coordinator. “With so many opportunities at each location throughout the county, we encourage everyone to dive right in!”
The reading portion of the program serves as a great way to keep young minds active and help prevent a “summer slide” in academic performance. Kids and teens can earn prizes and gift cards in the reading competition, and adults can enter raffles for grand prizes.
Students enrolled in Lake County Schools can use their student virtual library card to access e-books and e-audiobooks to continue reading and learning over the summer.
The Lake County Library System is dedicated to promoting lifelong learning through a cooperative countywide library system, engaging the community by offering physical and digital content, and offering services critical to education, research, and workforce training.
