Summer Learning Program

"Books are sometimes windows, offering views of worlds

that may be real or imagined, familiar or strange.

These windows are also mirrors, in which we can see ourselves."

—Rudine Sims Bishop

Donate Now

This year's "Unearth A Story" Summer Learning Program is ready to take children on an inspiring journey of art and creativity throughout each of the Broward County Libraries. You can help celebrate the countless ways art enriches our lives and communities by donating to the Summer Learning Program today.


Children in Broward County need your help to avoid the "summer slide" – that critical period when students can lose up to two months of reading and math skills. Your support makes all the difference.


Whether readers are digging into a good book, uncovering hidden histories, or exploring the past, the Broward County Library "Unearth A Story" programs underscore the joy of discovery that reading brings. This year, the Summer Learning Program emphasizes that every person and every community has stories waiting to be found and shared—through books, library programs, and local knowledge.


The immersive 10-week program engages children and families in reading, storytelling, and educational activities that stimulate young minds. It plays a vital role in preventing the dangerous loss of education by offering accessible, enjoyable learning programs designed to activate children's minds and sharpen their critical thinking skills.

Donate today and YOU can ensure that children, teens, and families have an enriching and vibrant and colorful summer to look forward to at library locations across Broward County.


Your gift provides more than just weeks of entertainment and learning – it funds fun and educational programs, meaningful awards, and exciting challenges that motivate children to stay engaged throughout the summer months.


Please support Broward County's youth as they discover new opportunities to see the world through different lenses, forge friendships, and embrace the beauty of art in all its forms. Together, we can chart pathways of experiences during the "Unearth A Story" Summer Learning Program that will benefit children for years to come.
