Reading Leads to Milestones
The John Jermain Memorial Library has two reading challenges for young patrons.
For middle and high school students, the library is asking teens to read 100 books before they graduate from high school. Those who take the pledge can earn rewards after reading 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 books over the coming months and years.
For the littlest patrons, the library is taking part in a national challenge called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. “Did you know that in the first few years of life, your child builds more than one million new brain connections every second?” the library asks.
Answer these challenges by signing up by Nov. 30 at the library, 201 Main Street in Sag Harbor.
