CHICAGO – State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes is hosting a Summer Book Club for young people in his district to encourage them to continue their education while school is not in session, and to help instill a lifelong love of reading in the next generation.
“Reading helps young people develop curiosity and empathy for those with different experiences,” said Cervantes (D-Chicago). “At a time when other state governments are discouraging these actions, I am proud to be uplifting reading as a hobby for young people, and hope that this program allows students in my district to learn more about themselves and others through the power of literature this summer.”
The Summer Book Club requires students to read eight books of their choice during the summer break, record the names of the books on a form, and return the form to Cervantes’ district office by Aug. 15. Every child who completes the Summer Book Club will be invited to a pizza party with the Senator.
Summer Book Club forms are available to fill out online here. For further questions, reach out to his district office by calling (773) 869-9050 or emailing
