THE BOOKWORM KWORM
Hello, boys and girls — Summer vacation is almost here. At this time of year, most boys and girls want to forget about school. They are ready for backpacking, beaches and barbecues.
We all like vacations, but summer is actually a good time to think about doing really well when school starts again.
Make sure that some of your summer free time includes reading. Reading during the summer keeps your brain nice and sharp. When school finally does start again, you will be at the top of your game.
Our library makes it very exciting for you to read this summer. Read on to discover all our fun programs.
