Summer Learning Program

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
– Nelson Mandela

We invite you to support the Broward County Library’s 2021 Summer Learning Program, which will offer a summer of reading, storytelling, and fun literacy activities. This year’s theme is “Tails and Tales.”

Because you can read and explore through BCL from anywhere in the world, this year, the program series will be accessible both in-person and online! With special programs and incentives, the Summer Learning Program provides a powerful combination of encouragement and reinforcement for students and their families. From June 1 through August 14, the Summer Learning Program will engage children, teens, adults, and families at both 37 BCL branches and virtually from anywhere!

The Library Foundation wants to make sure every child and teen has the opportunity to benefit from these learning opportunities provided by the Library. A digital Summer Learning Program guide is available on the Broward County Library website, broward.org/library.

Every donation will help encourage personal and academic success across Broward County and provide children a summer of entertainment and education. Below are some ways you can contribute to this enriching, essential program.

Please help Broward County’s children create their own stories and discover the tale within!

Your donation may be applied in the following ways:

• $50 will provide 20 animal hand puppets or stuffed animals for early learners who meet reading goals
• $100 will provide youth grand prizes for one library branch such as a Melissa and Doug Pet Vet Play Set and 3D Animal Backpack
• $300 will provide an educational interactive program on Facebook Live with Jungle Jordan
• $500 will provide an online visit from award-winning author and illustrator Bob Shea
• $750 will provide two visits from the Museum of Discovery and Science STEM mobile 
• Any amount can help provide “Tails and Tales” reading rewards incentives all summer long

We appreciate your support!
