Reading can provide lots of fun for children and teens during summer vacation. Children who read during
the summer are better prepared for school when they return to classes in the fall. Public libraries throughout
Wisconsin will host summer events to encourage children and young adults to include reading in their summer
fun.
●All Star Readers
The Milwaukee Public Library will host its 2007 Summer Reading Club for kids from 3 to 18. Signing up
starts on June 1 at all Milwaukee public libraries and bookmobile sites.
Children aged 6 to 12 are invited to become "All Star Readers" at the Milwaukee library when they sign up
for the Summer Reading Club. Children can score a point by reading 10 books or 1,000 pages. When they
reach the reading goal, they will win a bag full of prizes.
●Sparkey Spots the Ball
Children up to 5 years old can join the read-to-me club, "Sparkey Spots the Ball". They will receive their
own reading folders (文件夹) to record the books read to them by parents, brothers and sisters or relatives.
Once they have listened to 20 books, they will win a baseball and a coupon (优惠券) for McDonald's ice
cream.
●X-treme Read
Teens between the age of 13 and 18 can join in their own reading program called "X-treme Read". Teens
