Press release from the City of Cambridge:

June 21, 2021

This summer, the Cambridge Public Library invites people of all ages to join the annual Summer Reading program and enjoy everything the Library has to offer, including “Book Adventures,” free programs and fun activities.

“We are delighted to invite our neighbors to adventure and explore this summer through the power of reading,” said Dr. Maria McCauley, Director of Libraries for the City of Cambridge. “Let us celebrate the stories and art that are all around us.”

Once they register, participants may pick up their free “Summer Reading is for Everyone” tote bag at open Library locations, while supplies last. From June 28 through August 27, participants will receive regular, free, “Book Adventures” that include curated themed book recommendations and activity ideas from our librarians, as well as updates about Library program offerings. The Library’s Summer Reading “Book Adventures” will engage with themes that explore joy, nature, art, history, STEAM, and more.

“Summer Reading has been a mainstay of Library programming for children and teens for decades,” said City Manager Louis A. DePasquale. “But we are lifelong learners and the Library is a source of inspiration and information, no matter the reader’s age.”

Funding for Summer Reading has been generously provided by the City of Cambridge, Cambridge Public Library Foundation, Friends of the Cambridge Public Library and Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

Summer Reading is free, fun and for everyone. Register and learn more by visiting camb.ma/summerreading or call 617-349-4040.
