☀️ Summer is almost here — and so is the Summer Learning Challenge! 📚
Once again, the Redwood City Library Foundation is partnering with the Redwood City Public Library to make sure kids across Redwood City and Redwood Shores have books to read and reasons to keep learning all summer long. For many children, this program means receiving their very first books to call their own — and discovering that reading can be fun, empowering, and joyful.
Last year, when public funding disappeared, you showed up. Because of our community’s support, more than 6,000 children received free books and stayed engaged in reading all summer. You turned what could have been a season of learning loss into one of growth and possibility. 💛
This year, the need is even greater. Rising book costs mean we must raise $40,000 to provide up to 9,000 books — and we’re also committed to funding our Teen Intern Program, giving teens paid jobs helping run activities and serve as role models for younger readers.
Together, these programs keep kids learning, give teens real work experience, and strengthen our community.
📖✨ Join us as we launch this year’s Summer Learning Challenge campaign. Visit our website to see how your donation can help give every child a chance to build a lifelong love of reading.
Thank you for being part of this story — and for helping make this summer a season of opportunity for local kids and teens. https://www.rclfdn.org/copy-of-initiatives-1
