Reading to children has repeatedly shown to improve logical thinking, concentration, general academic aptitude, and more, all while inspiring a true love of reading! Don’t let the summer slip away without engaging your children in these local summer reading programs — most offer special incentives and prizes!

Loudoun County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program
Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure. Beginning June 10, 2019, ramp up your reading, discover more of the library’s resources and explore your community. With this year’s “Explore Your Universe” theme, patrons can expect plenty of space-related programs for all ages. Children, teens, and adults can get in the game by completing challenges all summer long. There are also chances to complete challenges by visiting one of Loudoun’s parks and museums.
