DES PLAINES— To encourage students to continue reading habits outside of school, State Senator Laura Murphy is launching a Summer Reading Club for students in the 28th Senate District.
“Now more than ever, we need to encourage students to put down their electronic devices and pick up a book instead,” said Murphy (D-Des Plaines). “I hope my Summer Book Club motivates young people to set goals for themselves and learn that reading is a gateway to knowledge and adventure.”
The Summer Book Club requires students to read eight books of their choice during the summer break, record the names of the books on a form, and return the form to Murphy’s district office by Aug. 21. Students who complete the requirements and form will receive a gift card from Senator Murphy.
To fill out a book club form, visit SenatorLauraMurphy.com/BookClub to fill out the online form. Parents can also call Murphy’s office at 847-718-1110 to request a copy by mail.
Murphy encourages interested residents to call her office with any additional questions.
