About the event

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

Join us in the Main Library's Children Programming Room every Tuesday in July (while supplies last) for a special program dedicated to supporting elementary students and their families all summer long. Thanks to a generous grant from the Durham Library Foundation, the Durham County Library will be distributing Summer Learning Bags designed to help students in grades K-5 avoid the “summer slide,” a time when many children lose progress in reading and math skills.

Each Summer Learning Bag is thoughtfully assembled and filled with fun, engaging materials including hands-on activities, math games, sensory items, school supplies, and books to inspire a love of reading throughout the summer months.

Bag Giveaway Times:

Morning: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Afternoon: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

To ensure equal access, children must be present to pick up their Summer Learning Bag. Bags are distributed one per child based on their rising grade level and are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
