“‘When kids read during the summer, they do better in school,’ said Carol Rasco, president and CEO of Reading Is Fundamental Inc. ‘But just as importantly, summer reading should be fun and help kids discover that books can take them on great adventures.’ It’s in those moments looking through the library stacks, choosing a page-turning mystery or a sports biography — with no test or book report looming beyond the final page–that kids learn the true entertainment value of a book.” - Miami Herald, June 29, via Library Stuff
