A Note from the Director<br />
Elizabeth Goldman<br />
<strong>Library</strong> Services Director<br />
<strong>June</strong> 1 brings the end of the school year <strong>and</strong><br />
the launch of Burbank Public <strong>Library</strong>’s annual<br />
Summer Reading Program. Along with the<br />
reading program, <strong>Library</strong> staff have been working<br />
diligently to plan a great slate of events for the<br />
summer, from individual activities to interactive<br />
sessions, with learning <strong>and</strong> fun for all ages.<br />
At its core, summer reading has one goal: To<br />
keep students actively engaged with reading<br />
between school years, thus avoiding the “summer slide,” which can<br />
counteract school-year learning gains <strong>and</strong> which disproportionately<br />
impacts children from lower income households. But developing a<br />
love of reading that lasts year-round benefits everyone, from children<br />
to adults, from all walks of life.<br />
Burbank’s Summer Reading Program is built on the simple premise that<br />
by reading each <strong>and</strong> every day, we will improve ourselves <strong>and</strong> our<br />
community. Participants don’t need to worry about a minimum<br />
number of words or minutes or about the many aspects of our busy<br />
lives that get in the way of reading. As a lifelong reader myself, I have<br />
read every day since my childhood. Some days I only make it through a<br />
few pages before I fall asleep, but the ritual grounds me. Reading helps<br />
keep me connected to stories larger than my own <strong>and</strong> builds my<br />
empathy <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />
Whether you are already a big reader or not, I encourage you <strong>and</strong> your<br />
family to use the next few months to explore all the <strong>Library</strong> has to offer.<br />
You can read – or listen to – whatever draws you, <strong>and</strong> as a reward, we’ll<br />
give you even more books. Check out some fun programs, try out new<br />
technology, or maybe pick up a title out of your comfort zone. Happy<br />
reading!<br />
