Now in its 103rd year, The Seattle Public Library’s Superhero Summer of Learning offers ways for kids to read, learn, explore and grow all summer. To get in on the fun, pick up a free Superhero Summer Action Guide at any of the Library’s 27 locations (or download the guide at spl.org/SummerOfLearning). This guide is filled with superhero fun, reading lists, activities and ideas for practicing everyday superhero traits such as compassion and kindness. A shorter version of the Action Guide is available online in Amharic, Simplified Chinese, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tigrinya, and Vietnamese.

Kids can also set a reading goal and track their progress by picking up or downloading a Superhero Summer Activity Game Board.
