The challenge runs through December, so there's plenty of time to participate!
This summer, take your reading a step further by joining the Texas America 250 Reading Challenge—a meaningful way to celebrate 250 years of American history while encouraging readers of all ages to explore stories that connect our past, present, and future.
Summer is the perfect time to keep the joy of reading growing. Whether it’s a trip to the library, a story shared on the porch, a book packed for vacation, or a little one sounding out words at bedtime, every page turned helps build a stronger future.
Altrusa District Nine knows literacy doesn’t take a summer break. It happens in big ways and small ones—through books, conversations, imagination, and opportunities to learn all season long.
This summer, we encourage families to make reading part of the adventure:
- Visit your local library
- Start a family reading challenge
- Swap books with friends
- Read under the stars, by the pool, or on the road
A love for reading can grow anywhere—and summer is a great place to start.
What's on your summer reading list this year?
Let's make this a summer filled with stories, learning, and literacy—one book at a time.
