Here is a message from Julia Wagner, Librarian, Salt Spring Public Library: As you know, regular reading over the summer helps children to maintain or improve reading skills. Voluntary reading is key to making reading habitual and in the BC Summer Reading Club (BC SRC), children choose what they read. We have options at the ready, but they can choose anything. They also have the opportunity to participate in fun library activities over the summer, including online book clubs and small-group outdoor activities.
Children and their families have access to many theme-related books in accessible formats, including audio and ebook formats. This provides kids with print disabilities increased opportunity to participate in the BC SRC program. Library staff are able to help with access to these materials. For resources and more information about the BC SRC, please visit the library’s website at https://saltspring.bc.libraries.coop/, the BC SRC website http://kidssrc.libraries.coop or the BC SRC Kids’ website www.bcsrc.ca.
