With the end of the academic year, the Council recognizes the importance of keeping children engaged with reading and educational materials during the summer.
Research has shown that maintaining strong reading habits during summer break is crucial to preventing “summer learning loss,” which can result in significant educational setbacks.
“The Children’s Services Council is thrilled to continue putting books into the hands of children in our community,” said Dr. Lisa Williams-Taylor, CEO of the Children’s Services Council.
“And summer is a great time for children to enjoy the books they love with the people they love.”
At the event, families can enjoy ‘Readings with Celebrities,’ where local media personalities from Palm Beach will entertain children with captivating stories. Some of the featured titles include Who Would Win? Ultimate Animal Showdown, Diary of a Wimpy Kid #1, Babysitters Club Graphix: Jessi’s Secret, Reboot, Miss Quinces, and Dog Man Unleashed.
In addition to the book giveaway, the event will also feature a community resource fair, providing families with access to valuable services and support. Participating agencies include Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies; 211; Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library; SafeKidsPBC; BRIDGES; Head Start; Home Safe; and Florida Rural Legal Services, among others.
Families attending the event can enjoy music, refreshments, face painting, and interactive experiences such as the County Playmaker truck and the Sheriff’s therapy dogs.
