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.
Participants in the Summer Reading Program can earn incentives for every five books read if they are 12 years old or younger. For those who are 13 years or older, an incentive will be given for every book read. Additionally, children who read at least 10 books and teens or adults who read two books will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize. The more books read, the more chances participants will have to earn incentives.
