Establishes a grant program for summer early reading programs at schools with summer lunch programs.

The Summer Meals and Learning Act of 2026 creates a new Federal grant program to provide funds to State libraries. These funds enable State libraries to award subgrants to local educational agencies. The subgrants allow schools with summer lunch programs to keep their libraries open for student use during the summer months. The program aims to provide summer early reading programs, which are at least six weeks in duration, at schools with summer lunch sites.
