great way to keep kids minds working during summer, while having fun @Kidsgov

Summer is filled with fun - outside at the pool, exploring the backyard, and running around with friends. Make sure your child's summer is also a little educational. Summer reading programs are a great way to keep kids minds working during the summer, while still having fun! Many local libraries run summer reading programs, but if yours doesn't, there are plenty of free online resources to help you find interesting and fun books for your kids. Below's a list of free sites to get you started:

• Read.gov
• Library of Congress for Kids and Families
• Big Summer Read (2013) – Reading Rockets
• Diverse Summer Reading List for Kids
• Summer Reading List – American Library Association
• Summer Booklist for Young Readers (2012) - National Endowment for the Humanities
• Toolkit: Read with Children
