The Library of Virginia is encouraging everybuggy to visit, read and participate in the summer reading program at their library.

Studies (pdf) about summer learning show that more than just fun happens when children participate in library programs.  The summer reading program is a project of the Library of Virginia, supported by the federal government’s Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provision of the Library Services and Technology Act. The Library of Virginia gives every public library the opportunity to take part in the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP). Through LSTA funding, the Library of Virginia pays the CSLP membership fee, purchases program manuals and summer reading program materials for every public library that wishes to participate. The Library of Virginia also provides training for staff.
