The Buckhead Library ... Summer Reading "Kick-Off" on June 7, 2017

Summer Reading "Kick-Off" on June 7, 2017 ... 10:30 AM - 2:00 PM

The Buckhead Library a part of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System is proud to once again present a Summer Reading Library Program for all youth, "Building a Better World".

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM TEAM
has been invited to participate in the outstanding community event!  We are honored to serve!

Summer reading is an important event at our library, encouraging our area youth to read and enjoy the many benefits that the library offers over the course of the summer. This will help to prevent the loss of academic skills and knowledge over the summer holidays. Last year, over 31,000 youth participated in our System-wide Summer Reading program. This year, we hope to exceed that number.

The Buckhead Library is planning a Summer Reading "Kick-Off" on June 7, 2017 for the Buckhead community and Library patrons.  A portion of Buckhead Avenue will be blocked off to create a fun and festive event with a theme of "Building a Better World" with food, games, music, celebrities that support building a better foundation for our today's youth!
