SWANSEA – State Senator Christopher Belt is launching a Summer Reading Club for students to encourage continued learning throughout the summer.
“It’s important to keep kids engaged throughout the summer through reading, and it’s important for kids to become stronger readers to succeed in school and life,” said Belt (D-Swansea).
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 Belt’s Swansea office or East St. Louis office by Aug. 14. Every child who completes the Summer Book Club will receive a gift card and a certificate from Belt.
You can fill out the Summer Book Club forms online at SenatorBelt.com. People with questions can reach out to Belt’s East St. Louis office or Swansea office.
