Summer Reading Season is Officially Here! 

About Blog Post Jun 23, 2023 by SCLSNJ
Summer Reading season has officially kicked off across the nation. Children, tweens, teens, and adults are excited to challenge themselves to read more this summer. At the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey's (SCLSNJ) North Plainfield branch, families kicked off their summer with games, crafts, stories, and literacy fun. "Our staff loves planning meaningful events for our community," said Crystal Hooper, branch manager. "It’s very rewarding to see so many families visit and share with us how important we are to their lives. Summer Reading is such a special time to engage with stories and topics that help people of all ages grow as individuals. We - and the entire System - have many more fun programs and activities planned for the summer and beyond." Summer Reading is for all. What reading goal do you have this summer? Whatever your goals might be, SCLSNJ is here to help you achieve them through signature events, giveaways, crafting activities, and so much more. SCLSNJ's event calendar is bursting with fun and ready to be explored! "We love sharing the importance of summer reading - from preventing summer slide to instilling a love of books and reading, all while having fun," said Nicole Pelliccia, youth services department supervisor. "We are looking forward to sharing many more great events this summer both here in the North Plainfield community, but also throughout Somerset County."
