While many children have new opportunities and experiences during summer, the majority of children who have been historically excluded lack access to traditional programs. We will examine new research about summer slide and COVID learning loss, and look at research proven ways in which public libraries succeed in driving deep, lasting, and meaningful changes for our youth during these critical months. We will look at the national trend in positioning library programs in the summer learning context as a way to drive equity and discuss the essential role of outcomes based evaluation as a tool to tell the story of our programs successes and advocate for our programs. We know summer matters for kids: you and your role in the public library are vital for all kids' success.
