Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach, CA - The Long Beach Public Library (LBPL) is excited to announce the launch of its annual Summer Reading Program, "Level Up at the Library," on Saturday, June 14. This program invites readers of all ages to embark on a summer of adventure by reading, completing activities, and attending special events and programs at any of the 12 LBPL locations. The program will run until Saturday, August 9.
Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his enthusiasm for the program, stating that "Summer Reading is a fantastic opportunity for families to connect, learn and grow together." He also emphasized the city's dedication to education and community engagement, ensuring that residents of all ages have access to valuable learning experiences throughout the summer.
