QUINCY — State Rep. Kyle Moore is inviting area youngsters to explore new worlds this summer in his “To the Library and Beyond” summer reading program.

In a press release, Moore said, “Books can take you to amazing places. When you’re a reader, there’s always a new adventure waiting just a page-turn away. Whether you want to explore space or walk with dinosaurs, you can do it all with just a book and your imagination.”

Moore’s “To the Library and Beyond” Summer Reading Program invites all students in grades K-5 in his legislative district to read eight books during their summer vacation. A parent or guardian may then list the books on the summer reading form found under the resources menu at repmoore.com or fill out the flyer at a local library and return it to his office by Aug. 1. Successful summer readers will receive a certificate of recognition from the Illinois House of Representatives and an ice cream treat.

“Children who like to read become lifelong readers, and that’s a tremendous gift,” Moore said.
