Assemblymember Jonathan Jacobson (D-104) invites kids in his Hudson Valley district to participate in the State Assembly’s Summer Reading Challenge, hosted in partnership with New York State Libraries.

This year’s theme is “Unearth a Story,” highlighting dinosaurs, paleontology and archaeology, while also encouraging kids to learn about their own community and uncover history themselves. Children who complete the challenge can receive an Assembly Excellence in Reading certificate.

“I want this challenge to introduce children to the wonders hidden in their local libraries,” Jacobson said. “Hopefully they’ll end the summer with a lifelong love of reading.”
