Rx for Summer Reading is our way of keeping families connected to books and each other all summer long. For 16 years now, we’ve used fun, engaging stories to encourage families to read together—starting as early as a baby’s first doctor visit. This year’s theme is all about unplugging and playing. We’re featuring the book “Baby Unplugged: PLAY!” by Dr. John Hutton, and it’s a sweet reminder that some of the best ways kids learn are through good old-fashioned play, including reading, without any screens.
Alabama FY24 stats:
- 88,638 children served
