Summer Reading Program Update
My visits with the Summer Reading program participants at the Boys and Girls Clubs were a blast. We had a higher attendance at my talks than we'd hoped for, and you can see from this photos, taken at the Fort Collins club, that the kids literally mobbed me to get their free books. I'm very excited to go back at the end of July and hand out prizes to our winners! The Northside Aztlan Community Center kids asked great questions. They were a delight to work with as well!
