Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

Summer Reading

The Pima County Public Library program runs from May 27th - July 24th. The theme this year is "Make a Splash - Read!" The program is absolutely free. All you have to do is stop by the library anytime after May 27th and pick up a reading log for your child. They log the time they spend reading and earn prizes for their efforts. While your at the library - this would be a great time to get your child a library card if they don't already have one! For more information on this program, check out the library link: http://www.library.pima.gov/about/news/?id=2481.

Barnes and Noble also has a reading program this summer. Their kickoff is on May 29th at the Foothills Mall location. Kids can pick up their reading logs and track the books they read. Once they read 8 books, Barnes and Noble will give them a free book! For details, see their link:

Please help your kids take advantage of these great opportunities to get rewarded for reading. My hope for each of them is that they start off next year reading even better than they do at the end of this school year. The only way to accomplish that is to read, read, read!
