Wish your kids would read more? The L.A. Public Library is here to help you this summer, says Mary MacVean, the power behind our fine education blog, The Homeroom:
The L.A. Public Library hopes to entice young people of all ages to spend their summer reading with "Reading Magic" for children 4 to 12 and "Passport to Reading" for teenagers.
The clubs are free and at the Central Library downtown and 71 branch libraries.
"The library’s summer reading programs make reading fun and promote reading during the summer, which is more important than ever before,” city librarian Fontayne Holmes said.
