The school year just ended, but many schools are already planning ahead to prevent the summer slide, a term used to describe the academic regression experienced by students over the summer. 

Several local schools are planning to open their library for visitors during summer vacation, with some opening as early as next week.

Some schools have even planned themes, activities and contests to motivate students to read. They are invited to check out books, earn AR points, and participate in other fun activities. For more information on your child’s school library accessibility, read the list of dates and times below.
