The Summer Book Club requires students to read eight books of their choice during the summer break, record the names of the books on a form, and return the form to Belt’s Swansea office or East St. Louis office by Aug. 14. Every child who completes the Summer Book Club will receive a gift card and a certificate from Belt.
