LEMONT, IL — State Representative Nicole La Ha is launching her Summer Reading Program to encourage students kindergarten through sixth grade to keep the learning going while school is out, according to a release from her office.

The challenge is simple: read 10 books over summer break. Books from local library programs count, and if a book is over 150 pages, it can count as two. Once students finish their reading list, they just need to fill out their Summer Reading Log online at https://replaha.com/summer-reading-program/ by Aug. 8.

Every student who completes the challenge will receive a personalized Certificate of Achievement from Rep. La Ha, presented in person.
