McDonald’s is committed to supporting educational programs in the community, especially initiatives that encourage children to read. Through the Summer Reading Program, over 110 of the public libraries on Long Island offer a series of diverse reading programs, as well as fun and educational activities for children of all ages to enjoy during the summer months. “We are excited to once again partner with the LI McDonald’s Owners and Operators. Their support of the Summer Reading Program for the past 27 years has been a wonderful partnership and something that the children look forward to each year. We thank them for their continued support,“ says Renee McGrath, Nassau Library System Youth Services Manager. “I am extremely proud that this program has been in existence for 27 years, reaching school children from Kindergarten through high school. It is a truly rewarding program that encourages reading literacy and reinforces that we are a grassroots company,” says Luciana Montuoro, LI McDonald’s Marketing & PR Director.
