Now that we’ve got a month of summer under our belts, why not celebrate by cozying up to a great book to avoid that summer heat?
The Denver Public Library is excited to announce the return of its popular Summer of Adventure program, designed to encourage youth from birth to 12th grade to learn, grow, and have fun throughout the summer months. Choose your own Summer of Adventure by doing 20 different READ, MAKE, and EXPLORE activities to finish the program. Once completed, bring your Adventure Guide to any Denver Public Library location to receive a completion prize and a VIP ticket to the first-ever Summer of Adventure Completion Party on August 10th.
During the summer break, students can often experience a learning loss known as the “summer slide.” The Summer of Adventure program aims to combat this by providing opportunities for informal learning and activities that enhance both academic and social-emotional skills. Participants will have the chance to meet experts, learn new skills, and discover innovative ways to engage with reading.
