MADISON, WI ~ The Madison Public Library is inspiring youth to keep reading this summer with their We Read campaign. The campaign includes free library programs, a card game, an artist in the neighborhood project, and a writing contest.
Youth Services Supervisor Tammy Ocampo said, "Reading, playing and participating in fun activities over the summer helps kids maintain their learning while school's out, keeps them engaged in positive activities and creates joyful memories!"
To kick-off We Read, each Library will host a kick-off event in June where kids and families can work with a local artist to make their own self-portrait as part of the ongoing Our Town Everywhere project. Starting June 8th, kids can visit the library or Dream Bus to get their own free copy of the We Read Card Deck. The deck contains action cards that offer lots of different ways kids can connect with reading and form relationships. Each deck also contains prize cards that families can enjoy once they've completed the action cards.
