This week features recommended Summer Reading:
ALA Summer Reading & Learning

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. |
