Nearly 2,700 people are participating in Lake Villa District Library's 2023 Summer Reading Program, Sweet Summer. And the program has only just begun.

People of all ages are reading (or being read to) for chances to win prizes. By setting a goal of reading a certain number of minutes each day for 60 days, and tracking progress along the way, they're making reading a daily habit.

Historically, summer reading programs are meant to inspire reading during time off from school and to avoid the "summer slide." LVDL takes it a step further by creating a fun, interactive program for the whole family.

Adults can read for chances to win gift certificates to local stores and restaurants.

Plus LVDL has plenty of "sweet" activities planned all summer long, including an end-of-summer party.

Sweet Summer runs through Sunday, Aug. 13. For details, visit lvdl.org.
