DUNNING — Children can get more than a dozen free books as part of the Chicago Public Library's summer reading program, officials said.

The library plans to give 1 million books to kids this summer through its Rahm's Readers program, named for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, in conjunction with Bernie’s Book Bank, officials said.

Chicago children can stop by a library branch and sign up for the summer program and receive 12 free books. Children 5 and younger will receive an additional book, courtesy of KPMG, officials said.

The book distribution days begin Monday, officials said.
