This summer's theme is Dream Big-READ!
This summer, Lt. Governor Joe Garcia and the Colorado State Library have issued a challenge. "The theme of the State Library's Summer Reading Program is 'Dream Big' and we want to encourage all of Colorado's families to do just that," said Lt. Gov. Garcia. "We're challenging everyone to collectively read an additional 1.25 million pages in 2012 through their local library's reading program. This challenge is to commemorate Mile High United Way's 125th anniversary and to further promote a love for reading in homes across the state."
This challenge translates into an increase from last summer's 1.5 million pages read to 2.75 million pages in 2012. In 2011, a total of 240,110 Colorado residents participated in summer reading programs in public libraries. Of these readers, 152,720 were children, 43,695 teens and 16,824 adults.
