As I have said before, we are big in to books at our house. We usually stop by the library once or twice a week for storytime or to let Jackson play on the computer. We have computer games at home, but he still likes to play them at the library for some reason. I'm not sure if EVERY library has summer programs like ours, but you should check to see if they do. Our summer theme is "Catch the Reading Bug." For every 2 hours your child reads (or you read to your child) they get a prize. The prizes consist of things like temporary tattoos, stickers, free kids meals, free ice cream, and tickets to local sporting events. Last year Jackson got so excited when he got to pick something from the treasure box, so he's excited and ready to start reading! The summer is the hardest time to read to your kids I think, cause it's so warm out I always just want them to go outside to play. This is a good reminder and incentive to keep reading in the summer, especially for school age kids.
