Hey parents, you know the summer slide, right? It’s that magical time when kids forget everything they learned during the school year (including how to tie their shoes and why we can't eat cookies for breakfast). But fear not! We’ve got a plan to stop the summer slide and keep those brains sharp! 🤣

The WCLS Summer Reading Program 2026 is here to save the day—and the brains! Join us in June and July for a fun-filled adventure where this year’s theme is “Unearth a Story!” Every Thursday, we’ll have activities so exciting, your kids won’t even notice they’re learning. Live animals, magic shows, music, games, crafts, and of course, reading!

Plus, free books and prizes? Yes, please! So, let’s keep those minds from going on vacation. Register your little bookworms starting May 26th. Because let’s be real, no one wants their kid to come back to school less proficient.
