A Pool Party at Arlington’s Even Start

Ahhh, summer … when there is nothing better than lounging by the pool with a good book! Arlington’s Even Start Family Literacy Program had a pool party on June 4, 2026 complete with a blowup pool, beach balls, and swim noodles! Children could settle into a beach chair with a new pair of sunglasses, a pool toy, and — thanks to a RIF / RIF NOVA matching grant, two new RIF NOVA books, plus two books for each of the siblings in their family. Could summer reading get any better than this? No sunscreen necessary!
