Visit your installation library this summer and start Reading by Design!
During the summer months, DoD-MWR Libraries around the world will host a range of free activities for children, teens, and adults that encourage and support a love of reading. Participants also can earn incentives by reaching their reading goals.
DoD-MWR Summer Reading programs are designed to make the library a great place for kids to read, learn, and discover what’s available for their enjoyment throughout the year.
Reading by Design is inspired by the creativity of authors, illustrators, builders, inventors, artists, architects. In turn, we hope it inspires readers to explore their own creativity and design new worlds for themselves and for all of us.
There’s also a serious side to summer reading. Research has shown that reading over the summer prevents summer reading loss.
Studies also indicate students who read recreationally outperformed those who don’t. Students read more when they can choose materials based on their own interests. DoD-MWR libraries are committed to supporting lifelong learning and educational enrichment for all families.
