Do you like to read books? Do you like books a lot?

“I do, I do!” you say when you’re put on the spot.

Do you like to win prizes? Earn badges for proof?

“Of course,” you say, “stop being so gosh darn aloof.”

“What’s this all about? Why’s reading so important?

‘tis summer, usually my reading goes dormant.”

Don’t do that! Do not let your summer reading slide!

Read here, there, and everywhere! You should abide!

You can read in your car, on the boat, on the beach!

Nowhere the transportive magic of books can’t reach.

From audiobooks to Playaways, Braille books, too,

Libraries have more books than animals have zoo!

“That last line makes no sense. Afraid you lost me there.

But you’re right. So many ways. You’re making me care.
