CHICAGO – Encouraging students and children throughout the community to continue their education through summer reading, State Senator Lakesia Collins is launching her Summer Book Club for residents in the 5th District.
“Reading is one of the most important skills a child can practice, and by continuing to read they will be better prepared for the new school year,” said Collins (D-Chicago). “This is a fun way to keep kids engaged with school topics and gives them something to work toward this summer.”
The Summer Book Club requires students to read eight books of their choice during the summer break, record the names of the books on a form, and return the form to Collins’ Chicago office by Aug. 15. Every child who completes the Summer Book Club will receive a prize and a certificate from Senator Collins.
Summer Book Club forms are available to download at SenatorLakesiaCollins.com. People with questions can reach out to Collins’ office at (312) 298-9181.
