Win prizes in summer reading challenge No matter how old you are, you can join a Nashua Public Library summer reading program. Challenge yourself to earn raffle tickets and prizes as you read. The more time you spend reading, the more chances you have to win prizes! âChildren who donât read during summer vacation fall behind when school starts in the fall,â said Assistant Library Director Jenn Hosking. âThis decline in their reading abilities increases as they get older. The library wants to help parents maintain their childrenâs skills by motivating kids to read every day.â Summer reading programs do just that. And because theyâre available for all ages, they make reading a family affair. How to participate: Starting Saturday, log the amount of time you read HERE or by downloading the Beanstack app. Look for details about summer reading events, related to the âTails & Talesâ theme, at tinyurl.com/nplevents. | | |
