During the school year, Mansfield ISD asks students to read independently books of their
choice. With this in mind, and in an effort to promote a passion for reading, MISD
recommends that students continue to read over the summer months. Athletes, musicians,

might diminish. The same applies to reading. Research shows that if you do not read for
several months, you lose some of your skill.
There are a variety of ways to access
books during the summer:
● Mansfield ISD students have access
to digital books available through their
campus.See your campus librarian for login information .
● Mansfield Public Library
● Arlington Public Library
● Kennedale Public Library
● Grand Prairie Public Library
