Pomeroy Elementary second-grader, Morgan Felipe, read about 25 books last summer. This summer will be her third time participating in the library reading club.
"It will encourage her to read, especially during the summer," said her mother Cecilia Felipe. "There's not much to do. It keeps her busy."
The summer reading program Many Worlds, Infinite Stories registration starts today at the for kids, teens and even adults.
• Starting today, sign up in person or online at http://santaclaracountylib.org
