This spring, spread the love of reading through Chicago Reads. In our inaugural year of the program, we matched over 2,300 students with Book Buddies who provided them with their very own new books to read this summer. Sign up now to learn more and be a part of the program this year, and help Chicagoland students read all summer long!
