Lyons Township – To enhance educational opportunities over the summer break and foster a love for reading, State Senator Mike Porfirio is hosting a Summer Book Club.

“Understanding the significance of literacy skills and the need for continued learning over the summer is extremely important,” said Porfirio (D-Lyons Township). “This program will help engage and inspire young minds. I encourage families in the area to participate in the Summer Book Club and explore the joys of 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 Porfirio’s office by Aug. 18. Every child who completes the Summer Book Club will receive a gift card and a certificate from Senator Porfirio.

Summer Book Club forms are available to download at SenatorPorfirio.com. People with questions can reach out to Porfirio’s office at 708-430-2510.
