Coming next month-The 2009 Summer Reading Club--
Be Creative @ Your Library.
We have lots of great programs coming up, including a creative writing contest for students entering grades 4-8.
Research
has shown that children who continue to read during the summer vacation
perform better in the fall when school resumes. Summer reading programs
make educational reading activities fun and appealing to young people.
Registration begins June 22. Stay tuned for more details.
