Please join us this summer in any of the Chicago Public Library's locations, including all the neighborhood libraries and the Thomas Hughes Children's Library, to read across the city. Children ages three to fourteen are invited to learn about Abraham Lincoln and Illinois.

Kids up to the age of nine who read or have read to them, twenty-five pictures books will earn a Reader's T-shirt. Children over age nine who read ten chapter books will earn a T-shirt as well. Weekly book raffles, author visits, performers and presenters are just some of the activities that are featured throughout the summer.
