Durham County Library is having a busy summer! In June, DCL was awarded the American Library Association’s prestigious John Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award for Durham Reads Together: March, a series of programs and events last October featuring Rep. John Lewis that brought the community together across many diverse lines. Also, DCL kicked off the popular Summer Reading program, themed “Every Hero Has a Story." Summer Reading helps to prevent the dreaded “summer slide” for school-aged kids, preparing them to return to school with improved literacy skills. Over 2,240,000 points have been earned by over 5,800 avid readers so far, surpassing last summer’s totals! These successful programs would not be possible without YOUR support! Please make a donation to Durham Library Foundation today to continue Durham County Library’s work for the community. It’s quick and easy to do online at durhamlibraryfoundation.org.
