Sign Up for Mesa Library Summer Reading Program
TelAve News/10864333
~ Mesa Public Library is gearing up for a summer full of reading and fun activities for the community. As part of the Arizona Summer Reading Program, which runs from June 1 to August 1, the library is encouraging people of all ages to read for at least 20 minutes a day.
According to Mesa Public Library Director Polly Bonnett, registering for the summer reading program is not only a fun way to kick off the season, but it also has numerous benefits. "We want to make summer reading fun and accessible for everyone," said Bonnett. "Reading over the summer is not only vital for children to keep up their reading fluency and comprehension skills, but it also has benefits for all ages."
Participants in the program can earn online badges and compete with family and friends by earning points through reading and collecting secret codes at library events. The goal is to reach 1000 points by August 1, with every minute of reading equaling one point. Prizes will be awarded at different point levels, including restaurant coupons, Arizona State Parks passes, Phoenix Mercury tickets, and free books. However, all prizes and coupons are subject to availability while supplies last. Additionally, readers who complete the program with 1000 points will be entered into a raffle for numerous prizes.

In line with this year's summer reading theme of "Color Our World," which celebrates the arts, Mesa Public Library is hosting two art contests. The first contest is the Bike to Books Contest where students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade are invited to design bike symbol art for a City of Mesa shared-use path. This contest aims to encourage residents to combine biking and reading by biking to a public library or neighborhood little library. The winning designs will be installed on a Mesa shared-use path this winter.
The second contest is open to all ages and invites submissions for a special edition library card in celebration of the new Gateway Library, opening this fall. The winning designs will be printed on library cards and distributed at all Mesa Public Library locations for a limited time.
Mesa Public Library's participation in the Arizona Summer Reading Program is crucial in reducing the "Summer Slide," which refers to the learning loss experienced while transitioning between school years. Studies have shown that students who participate in a summer reading program have better reading skills at the end of third grade and score higher on standardized tests than those who do not. Furthermore, summer reading loss is cumulative, with children who consistently lose reading skills over the summer falling two years behind their classmates by the end of sixth grade. To combat this, simply reading five books over the summer can prevent summer reading loss.
