There’s only two full days left until school is out for my daughter.  She is yelling, yahoo and I’m saying yikes.  It’s that time of year when she is excited about being out of school and mom is wondering what she’s going to do all day long. 

Activities and camps are on the agenda.  She is excited to be participating in a number of those in our area.  But what about when she’s home and just “hanging out”.  I don’t mind the occasional TV show or some time on her ITouch, but I don’t want her reading to go to the wayside.  Is there a program that entices children to keep on reading through the summer?

Well, in our local Pullman WA library there is!  Our library, the Neill Public Library, offers a Summer Reading Program for young kids through teens that instill the continued love of reading.  It’s a program where kids keep a log of what they read and the length of time they spend reading.  By registering, they become eligible to win a gift certificate for local merchants valued at $200!

What a great program!  What a wonderful idea!  Don’t forget to register from June 9th through the 12th of June.  Enjoy the Summer…especially by reading your Summer away!
