While kids are out of school during the summer they may not read as much, but Peoria Public Library is hoping to change that.

Sign up for Peoria Public Library reading program is underway.

According to cinewsnow.com, last Sunday, was the kick-off of the sign up for a summer reading program for all ages.

Anyone who participates has to sign a contract agreeing to read three hours a week this summer.

Readers will have to stop back in to the Peoria Public Library branch they signed up at once a week from Sunday, June 5th through Saturday, July 23rd and report how much they read.

Those who read six of the seven weeks will earn a pass to get into the Peoria Riverfront Museum and Caterpillar Visitor Center for free on  Tuesday, July 26th.
