• From Betty A. Rosa, Commissioner of Education, NYSED:

    The Summer Reading at New York Libraries program provides activities for all age levels. Throughout the summer, local libraries across the state are hosting various activities and events to bring children, families, and communities together for reading and enrichment programs. This year’s theme, “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” promotes exploration, outdoor activities, and reading adventures for students and their families.

    Another excellent summer learning resource is Let’s Learn, a series of engaging instructional programs for kids ages 4 to 7 from The WNET Group. Keep the learning going all summer with these lessons on literacy, math, science, the arts, and more. Check your local PBS listings for new episodes airing on weekdays!

    In addition, the New York State Museum is hosting pop-up programs throughout the summer designed to spark creativity and curiosity. These family-friendly programs will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays in July and August and will change regularly, so if you’re in the area, be sure to visit the Museum!
