Howard County issued the following announcement on July 10.

In parents’ fantasies, summer, with its long days and more languorous pace, is a time for our children to be engrossed in wonderful books. In real life, our kids feel the pull of Fortnite and rebuke our summer reading prompts, subconsciously (or consciously) considering it “homework.” Not to mention we parents can be at a loss for quality book recommendations powerful enough to truly lure our kids into another world.
