As the 2022-23 school year comes to an end, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Public Library (CPL) are reminding students about the many summer reading and literacy programs and resources across the city. The two Chicago organizations offer summer literacy programming for students of all ages at schools and libraries, providing opportunities for students to catch up, accelerate, or develop proactive habits as independent lifelong learners. Research suggests summer learning and reading provides opportunities for enrichment and academic acceleration that supports continued social, emotional and academic growth through the summer months. Summer programs will run through August 4 at hundreds of CPS and CPL locations throughout the District, with programming available in all 77 Chicago neighborhoods. CPL is also launching Summer at Chicago Public Library, a 150th anniversary-themed summer program that includes fun, inspiring and informative events and activities that engage kids, teens and adults. Beginning Saturday, June 10, CPL will host a series of birthday parties with special performers and free activities at every library branch location throughout all 77 Chicago neighborhoods.  CPS-run summer literacy programs begin June 26 and provide students with extra academic and social and emotional support, connect them with their school communities and encourage them to explore new skills so that they are ready and confident when the 2023–24 school year begins Aug. 21. Registration is still open and can be found on the CPS website at cps.edu/summerprograms. Families can also contact their school principals to find out what programming will be available at their specific school.
