JCPL Teens

A study conducted by the University of Oxford in England shows that teens who read for pleasure are more likely to get better jobs when they’re grown up. They compared the teen reading habits of thousands of people born in 1970 to their jobs as adults and found that 39% o girls and 58% o boys who read for pleasure as teens were in professional positions as adults.

One American school librarian suggests that “being used to dropping into other lives and worlds in fiction definitely makes for a more creative thinker!"

So since you'll be reading for fun this summer, why not join the Summer Reading Club and get a free book as a reward?
