PARIS — The Paris Public Library will hold a free summer reading program for middle school students.

Signum Academy’s Summer Camps will offer a two-week guided exploration of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” and Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time.”

Participants will read through each book in two weeks, taking part in live daily large-group online class sessions alongside hundreds of others throughout the world. More than 40y chapters have already been formed!

Local participants will gather at Paris Public Library for discussion, crafts, and interactive reading fun. The Harry Potter Camp, Narnia Camp, and Wrinkle in Time Camp will run July 16-27, July 23-Aug. 3, and Aug. 6-17, respectively.

Signum Academy’s Summer Camps program is primarily a nationwide initiative organized by Signum University but is open to any library, organization, or family around the world. Signum is an online institution devoted to making high-quality education accessible and affordable and connecting a vibrant community of academics and literature enthusiasts.

During the two weeks of each camp, Signum will broadcast daily a one-hour online class session that all students in the program are welcome to attend live. These large-group sessions will be taught by Signum staff members, all of whom have significant teaching experience and a strong love for fantasy literature.
