The Summer Reading Program is kicking off at the Carnegie Library in Las Vegas, NM on Thursday, June 11, and it is packed with exciting events throughout June and July. This year’s theme, “Unearth a Story,” invites readers of all ages to dig deep into books, discover new worlds, and uncover the power of imagination.
Why is this important? Reading over the summer helps keep minds active, builds creativity, and prevents the “summer slide” in learning. Stories also connect us, helping us understand different perspectives, spark curiosity, and inspire lifelong learning. From fun activities to engaging programs, there is something for everyone, so come be part of the adventure and make this a summer full of discovery.
