Free reading club will inspire kids "to crack the case on literacy" like their favourite spy TORONTO, June 5 /CNW/ - WHAT: Beginning June 9, the 2009 TD Summer Reading Club will encourage more than 250,000 children to unlock the secrets of reading at their local libraries this summer. A tradition for more than a decade, this joint initiative between Library and Archives Canada, the Toronto Public Library and TD Bank Financial Group will help more than 2,000 libraries across Canada welcome children under age 12 as they enjoy an 'Agent 009' themed summer reading club. The TD Summer Reading Club is a great way for kids to improve their reading skills in an environment that's both educational and fun. Studies also show that kids who continue reading throughout the summer will maintain or improve their reading and comprehension skills so they'll be in great shape when school kicks off again in the fall. The program will also feature the announcement of a new partnership with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) as children with vision loss will join in the TD Summer Reading Club. The official launch of the 2009 TD Summer Reading Club will take place at the Hamilton Public Library in Hamilton, Ontario with students from Ray Lewis Public School and this year's TD Summer Reading Club illustrator.
