Dear Readers: Every summer, libraries across the country sponsor motivational summer reading programs to keep children reading while out of school. This year the program themes are “One World: Many Stories” for younger children and “You are Here” for teens. In past years, the library has been able to reward its readers with a modest gift, like a book or a scoop of frozen yogurt. Part of our summer reading program’s success depends on these types of gifts. In these times of economic hardships, when everyone’s budget is stretched thin, these generous vendors and merchants have still found a way to help support their community and its children via library programs.
