Welcome to June, and the sixth month of the Read with MLC 2025 Reading Challenge! This month's goal is to read a book about nature and the natural world. June happens to be National Great Outdoors Month and we thought, "What better time to ditch the screen, pick up a book, and head outside?" June boasts the official beginning of summer on the 20th, as well as:
- National Fishing and Boating Week - June 1-8
- National Trails Day - June 7
- National Service and Conservation Corps Day - June 13
- National Get Outdoors Day - June 14
- National Go RVing Day - June 14
Not enough outdoors for you? Check with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and Mississippi's state parks and national parks for fun events this June and all summer long.
