“We hope that the Summer Reading Program encourages children to become lifelong readers.  We also hope to encourage the reluctant readers with the different activities they can do to complete the Summer Reading Program.  Most of all we would like it to become a family activity.”
 – Sharon Fashion Youth Services and Summer Reading Program Coordinator
