The Fremont Area District Library's Summer Reading Program begins on Friday, June 6th. All ages are welcome to come in and sign up on or after June 6th to begin earning prizes for reading. The Summer Reading Program is important in helping to prevent the “summer slide,” which is the tendency for students to lose some of the achievement gains they made in school the previous year. Part of our library's mission is to inspire lifelong learning, so we include all ages (including adults) in our program. Grab some books, earn fantastic prizes, come to our free events this summer, and have fun reading!
