To emphasize the importance of learning throughout the summer, State Senator Elgie R. Sims, Jr. is launching a Summer Book Club for children and young people who live in the 17th District.
“It’s always a joy to see young people develop their love for growing and learning new things,” said Sims (D-Chicago). “Our book club is the perfect summertime opportunity for kids to set goals, experience new ideas and stay engaged, all while fostering a love for reading.”
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 Sims’ Chicago office by Friday, Aug. 14.
“Summer is a great time to play, rest and read,” Sims added. “I encourage students and their families to explore a local library and pick up a few books to get started.”
To receive a book club form, visit SenatorElgieSims.com to download and print the form. Parents can also call Sims’ office at 773-933-7715 to request a copy by mail.
Sims urges interested residents to call his office with any additional questions.
