Summer Reading Isn't Killing Me!

Summer Reading! What even is it and who does it?
Everybody, including my cat Petunia, should read every summer, because: it's too sweaty to jump rope or lift weights, TV is boring after a while, and also it gives kids a huge giant edge when they go back to school. Studies consistently show that kids who read over the summer are more ready for school and are likely to perform better in school in the coming year.
Parents should know that Providence Schools have a summer reading list for all grades. Your public librarian can show you what your child needs to read over the summer to be ready for school in the fall. High school kids should be doing summer reading too.
But will summer reading be boring??? No, the book lists have a lot of choices, including some really popular fun books, and anyone can find a great story on their summer reading list. Also- at WPK Library- you get a prize at the end of the year- at our party August 19th!!!
So come in to our library and get started! Sign-up has already started, and we've got book clubs and story hours coming up too!
