We know that participating in summer reading programs can help kids develop higher levels of literacy, but there are benefits for grown-ups, too. For adults, reading regularly keeps our brains active and allows us to practice mindfulness by making time to sit and enjoy a good book. This summer, our East Baton Rouge Parish Library has created a summer reading program for every age group, so everyone can participate and read for rewards.
