Accessible materials
We have club materials for children with print disabilities*. Please email our Children's Services staff or call the Paris Branch to request your accessible materials. (*A print disability is a learning, physical, or visual disability that prevents a person from reading conventional print.)
Stop summer slide
Studies show that school-age children lose some of their reading ability over the summer months if they do not continue to read while they are out of school. Summer reading programs are a proven tool to help bridge the gap between school years and maintain academic achievement.
The TDSRC inspires kids to explore the fun of reading their way—the key to building a lifelong love of reading. The benefits of the Club are clear: recent surveys indicate that 87% of kids read more often or the same amount over the summer, and 96% of parents/caregivers agreed that their child maintained or improved their reading skills over the summer!
Tumblebooks
Kids can read ebooks, read-along books, graphic novels, audiobooks, and more. Fuel their love of reading digitally! .
Let's create!
Our library staff have put together free crafts and activities to enjoy with your family this summer!
