Background:
Each Summer, the Tulsa City-County Library promotes reading through special programs to help kids retain and enhance reading skills over the summer. This year’s summer reading program runs May 31 - August 6. Staff from the Tulsa City-County Library will be present to discuss this year’s program.
Tulsa Mayor Dewey F. Bartlett is issuing a friendly challenge to other area Mayors to see which community can have the highest percentage of children enrolled in Tulsa City-County Library’s Summer Reading Program. The winning community will receive a special plaque to display for the year, as well as bragging rights for earning the distinction as a community of active readers.
