Senator Chesney’s Summer Reading Program

To keep young minds active during the summer break from school, State Senator Andrew Chesney is inviting children in his district to participate in his 2025 Summer Reading Program.

Students entering first through sixth grade in the fall of 2025 are challenged to read eight books over the course of the summer. Books over 200 pages may count as two books. Once a student has completed the readings, a summer reading form should be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian. The form can be accessed here.

Completed forms should be returned by August 13, 2025, to the following address:

State Senator Andrew Chesney
50 West Douglas Street, Suite 1001
Freeport, IL 61032

Participants who complete the program will receive an official certificate of recognition from the Illinois Senate and an invitation to a special ice cream party to celebrate their achievement.
