This summer, staff in the Monroe County (NY) LIbrary System are doing their own summer reading program. The image above visualizes the 311 titles read by staff in the first 2 weeks of the program!
Library staff put much time and effort into creating fun and engaging summer reading activities for all ages, so we thought it would be a fun change to put our staff in the position of winning some great prizes for their reading efforts.
In addition to this being a fun activity, it also serves to model library staff as Readers, with a capital R. This is such an important thing in our communities.
Cambridge University recently published a massive new study that once again demonstrates the power that reading has on success in life. This study also revealed that people, especially teens, who read often also enjoy better mental health.
Not only does reading make you smarter, it makes you healthier! And what better place to access millions of books than your public library. If you’re in the Rochester NY area, check out all the things happening in the Monroe County Library System this summer at https://libraryweb.org
