WAUKEGAN – To keep students engaged with books throughout the summer months, State Senator Adriane Johnson is launching a Summer Reading Club for children and young people who live in the 30th State Senate District.

“Reading during the summer is a fantastic way to keep children’s minds active during the break from class,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “This program will help our youth make a habit of reading, find joy in books and prepare for upcoming classwork.”

The Summer Book Club requires students to read eight books of their choice during the summer break, record the names of the books on a form and return the form to Senator Johnson’s office by Aug. 2. All students who complete the Summer Book Club will receive a certificate and be invited to a pizza party.  

“I encourage students of all ages to take advantage of this opportunity and be rewarded for their hard work,” Johnson said.
