Who’s ready for a summer of reading?

The Woodburn library is kicking off its children’s summer reading program June 20 — and doing it up in the style.

The summer reading kick-off party is set for 2-4 p.m. June 20, featuring magician Seth Howard at 3 p.m., plus face painting, cotton candy and outdoor games. Families can stop by the fun to sign up for the program and receive their free book.

Children who sign up for the program this summer receive a free book to keep, plus the chance to earn up to four additional prizes for reading at home during the summer. After completing the summer reading challenge, kids will get a summer reading T-shirt.

“Children who read regularly during the summer months are more likely to maintain their reading skills while not in school,” the library said in a release. “Participating in a summer reading program can help prevent learning loss, and strengthen reading skills.”
