JUDI'S CORNER

This week features recommended Summer Reading:

ALA Summer Reading & Learning
http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/alscresources/summerreading/summerreading.htm
Summer reading programs are geared for reading for the fun of it. If you can read, thank a teacher. If you love to read, thank a librarian. Libraries are in the business of creating a new generation of readers – people who are curious and love to read. Summer library programs take advantage of children’s natural curiosity to introduce new subjects and different genres – things kids might not study in school but are interested in.


Each week, I'll answer your questions, post announcements and provide interesting input!  Email me at jrajala@eduhound.com
That's all for this week! "Remember...the Web is a terrible thing to waste!"
