This year’s summer reading program at The Seattle Public Library has started and lasts 10 weeks, to Sunday, Aug. 31st.
On this, the 95th year the library has offered free summer activities to mitigate the summer slide in academics, it has partnered with the Pacific Science Center for a special emphasis on science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM).
A lot of information is available online, in addition to news releases about the programs for children and for teens/tweens .
