The 澳门特码王 Library, teaming up with more than 1,100 public libraries and neighborhood branches statewide, announced the launch of "Summer Reading at New York Libraries," the 2013 澳门特码王 summer reading program. The annual program gives children the opportunity to access the vast resources of New York鈥檚 public libraries to support their summer reading.

Through participation in summer reading programs, children can receive reading lists and participate in activities at their local libraries. At the end of the program, participants receive formal recognition for their reading achievement.

According to 澳门特码王 Library officials, 1.74 million young people statewide participated in last year鈥檚 summer reading program. It is the expressed hope of program coordinators at the 澳门特码王 Library, Assembly and Senate that increased attention on the benefits of summer reading will result in expanded participation.

State Education Commissioner John B. King, Jr. noted that summer reading programs allow students to maintain educational advances when not in school. "The Board of Regents and I encourage students across New York to participate in the summer reading programs at their local public libraries. As educators across New York work to implement the new Common Core Standards, it is important that students continue to read while school is not in session,鈥� said Commissioner King. 鈥淭he Summer Reading at New York Libraries program, supported by the State Library in conjunction with our partners in the State Assembly and Senate, is a great way for students to work towards college and career readiness during the summer and stay academically sharp for the next school year."

鈥淓very parent and teacher knows how important reading is to the educational success of all students. It is the fundamental building block for every other subject and allows children to explore the world they live in. 鈥楽ummer Reading at New York Libraries鈥� provides those who participate with a great opportunity to reinforce lessons learned throughout the school year while also having some fun.
