Senator Griffo encourages children to take part in summer, 2022 reading program

The long-days of summer are finally here and one state lawmaker representing the North Country is pleased to promote the 2022 summer reading program.

"There are plenty of wonderful books out there and countless adventures found within their pages just waiting to be discovered by eager children," Senator Joe Griffo (R-C-I-Rome) said.

Sponsored in conjunction with the New York State Library, this year’s summer reading program theme is “Oceans of Possibility.”

Children, teenagers and whoever participates will each choose out three books to read. To keep track of their progress, they will fill out an online form.

Those who submit a completed form will receive a special certificate from Griffo’s office. The program officially closes on September 1.

"Our public libraries offer an outstanding source of reading materials, educational programs, computers and other resources to help expand a child's learning experience, and I encourage our children to visit their libraries whenever they get the chance," Griffo added.
