The Cobb Public Library System’s “Dream Big – READ!” summer reading program begins Friday and runs through July 31.

The library system will host more than 700 programs and activities this summer to encourage reading and develop lifelong literacy skills. Everyone who completes the summer reading program will be entered into a drawing to win an iPad2. The program will end with a summer reading celebration on Aug. 4.

Participation is free and open to the public.
