The Kenton County Public Library is celebrating Summer Reading Club June 1 through August 31.
The club for children, teens and adults will kick off June 3 with a celebration at each branch. Reading during the summer helps prevent what’s known as the Summer Slide. Studies show that children who don’t read during the summer are more likely to struggle when they return to school.
Adults can set a great example by reading in front of children. That is why the Library offers a Summer Reading Club for everyone, which allows people to win cool prizes just for reading.
Erlanger Branch: Saturday, June 3, 1 pm-3 pm
Escape the Ordinary with bounce houses, face painting, a photo booth, games, crafts and pizza! Ages 12 and up are invited to participate in an Escape Room at 2:30 p.m.
Covington Branch: Saturday, June 3, 1 pm-3 pm
