Children SRC 2013, Teen SRC 2013, Adult Summer Reading Club
Kids, teens and now adults can take part in the
El Paso Public Library’s Summer Reading Club. The club is a fun and interactive
way to get the whole family reading together. The goal of the program is to
encourage children to read during the summer when school is not in session.
Studies show that young people who practice intellectual development such as
reading over the summer are more likely to succeed in school and in life.

Likewise, there will be hundreds of special performances to keep the whole family entertained during the summer. Libraries will host magic shows, karaoke, interactive games, origami and sushi making workshops, trivia contests, balloon twisting exhibitions and much more. Best of all, the programs are free. There is literally no better way to spend the summer
