Fairfax County Public Library understands the importance of summer reading. Summer learning loss, or the summer slide, is when children forget learned reading skills because they are no longer using them regularly. This can have detrimental, long-term effects when children return to school in the fall.
Reading and participating in engaging reading activities throughout the summer are two effective ways to combat summer learning loss. Our Youth Summer Reading Adventure can help children retain reading skills and foster a love for the library!

Absolutely! We want to involve adults in the summer reading experience. It promotes adult literacy and encourages people to interact with the library in different ways.
