Summer Reading Programs in the Treasure Valley

Ready, set, READ! Libraries are hosting FREE Summer Reading Programs in the Treasure Valley that are great for encouraging kids (and adults!) to read more this summer. All they have to do is read, log, and bring proof to their favorite library. Not only that, there are even a few nationwide summer reading programs that offer even more perks per page this summer.
